LAD #39: Brown V. Board of Education

Brown v. Board of Education spurred national civil rights movements nationally. This was because the supreme court ruled unanimously that racial segregation was ruled unconstitutional.

Brown filed this against the board in Topeka Kansas because her daughter was denied entrance in a white school. The court ruled that segregated schools are inherently unequal and therefore not allowed. This was a major pillar that fell to aid civil rights.
