Brown V Board of Education

So in my political science class we actually just learned and took and exam including Brown versus Board of Education. It changed so much in history and that's why I am not surprised to see it in this class because of the segregation issue. Separate is not equal. Brown brought his daughter to a white school and got denied and the case eventually after being denied over and over, went to the supreme court that decided to take it. Brown was going to lose again 5-4 but one of the men voting died and Warren took his place. He knew his vote made it so Brown would win the case and just how big that was. So he convinced the others that they might as well all vote with him so it looks good. That's what they did so now separate is not equal. More on it here.
 

     As the interview spoke of, "If we are going to have a truly equal opportunity society, we have to have an equal opportunity society and the evidence that we will have accomplished that is when we begin to see the research and evidence on discrimination in housing and in jobs in education and criminal justice again to diminish. That's what we need to be looking for."
     Yes. there needs to be equality happening in all situations. We should not even need to still be talking about it because it shouldn't be an issue. WE are all equal and must be treated that way. I think its come a long way and that people are more accepting of each other no matter the race but there are still people who are against those of a different race as they are. Also, this made me think of the link I put on my last weeks blog. And in the video on Caitlyn's blog when they say that if you build it they will come. So this connects to my link because there needs to be equal opportunity not only for people of different races, but also that may be segregated because of special needs. Some people started the college for those with special needs and students came with much excitement and appreciation.  Making the college for those students with special needs is great and is a huge part of actually doing something to make a change. There are also programs in schools but not enough. It needs to be more common for all students of all abilities to be together and be friends with one another. So segregation happens with race and with other issues as well.
