Brown vs. Board of education summary

short summary:
Brown v. Board of Education was a case brought to the Supreme Court in 1954 after Linda Brown, an African American student in Kansas, was denied access to the white-only schools nearby her house.
Her father went to law court, but they didn’t prove his case. Then he searched for more cases to sum up more of them to be able to go to the supreme court – and he found 5 of them, in 5 different school districts.

Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall was the lawyer for the case, and argued that segregated schools were inherently unequal. Ultimately, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of Linda Brown and declared segregation unconstitutional. The Segregation on American schools was declared as unconstitutional.
This is one of the landmark cases that led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act in 1964.
