From High School Online Collaborative Writing
The Brown vs Board of Education was a case that made a change in history by ending segregation. it was a case of a 8 year old Black girl called linda Brown, who lived in Topeka Kansas. She use to walk to the other side of town to go to school, when their was a school a block away from her hosue. The case was presented to court in 1951. The Brown family had sued the Board Of Education. The Brown family thought it was unreasonable that their daughter had to walk 21 blocks to go to school when their was a school a block away. Thurgood Marshall defended the case. this case is important becasue when the black and white became integrated, it started a new change and every school in the country had to be integrated.
Even though segregation was not abolished in some public places like restaurants and restrooms. This was an impotant decision for society because after the Brown decision schools weren't just full of people of their own kind and background. The brown family won the case and it ended segregation in public schools. --165.155.160.136 19:01, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
