Brown vs board

A black man who lived in a white neighbourhood had to send his child miles away while the white school was so much closer. They had a whole lawsuit that went all the way to the suprme court. This specifically contradicted its preceding court case about segregation "Seperate but equal".

Oliver Brown was the one who filed the case against Board of education.

LInda Brown is the reason Oliver started the case so he can send her to a whites only school.

This is a segargted school for blacks only, this is what Oliver was trying to get rid

4 black students sat a whites only counter and they started peacfully protesting but people were hurting them and dragging to jail and pouring ketchup on them but they were stubborn and they persevered after a long time of pecfully protesting, even some whites joined this movement so more whites started treating African Americans equally more people supported them.
