JIMMY's BABY. Straight from the womb
The court case of “Brown vs. Board of Education” had many affects on segregated America. One of the main affects it had was how it made people look at segregation differently. This court case showed that the American government no longer supported the idea of segregation, since it ruled in favor of Brown. But I was not without people who opposed it, like this man who said, “The sight of blacks carrying books often had the same effect on whites as the sight of armed blacks, and many would have found no real distinction between the two threats” (Lowe). This shows that the opposition was fierce for Brown winning the case. But Brown succeeded and it made an impact on the community because it showed people that segregation was wrong and it was possible to stop it, with some time and effort. It paved the way for other victories in fighting segregation. Another affect of the case was now children had to attend desegregated schools. This meant that children would no longer find a dividing line between people because they attended different schools. Kids of all races would have to attend the same school, which in turn would help them learn to accept each other and led the way for a more accepting and racism free future. The cases victory wasn’t all good for students though, as stated by James T. Patterson, “courts, seeking to create racially balanced schools, mandated a certain amount of complex busing of pupils from one school district to another, at the local level. Labeled "forced busing" by its opponents”. People didn’t like the idea of having to force their kid into going to a school that used to be their choice. Because of the “Brown vs. Board of Education” trial positive affects, along with some negative, were caused but helped America come one step closer to ending its segregation and granting people of all races the real equal rights.
Sam's Paragraph and Citations!!!!!
One main cause of the harassment of African Americans during the desegregation of schools in 1950 was the circumstances under which children of the time were raised. All of the little white boys and girls in 1950 were taught that black people were somehow different, bad, and inferior. They were raised to treat black people like they were worthless. The fact that any one of them may have felt differently didn’t matter; everyone acted the same for fear of becoming an outcast. In this way, the cycle of segregation continued and the treatment of blacks in integrated schools grew worse.

This article is about the causes that led up to segration and how people were fighting for equal rights in schools. It talks about how the fight for desegrigation didnt start in schools and how it was about many things that made life unequal for the community. It also talks about how for every point someone had for ending it, someone had a counterpoint for keeping it going and how the battle was long because of the opposing force but in the end segregation was ended.

SECOND BLOG POST
Forgot to post the second one last night, man I'm smart.
Yet another..
Brown v. Board of Education
-"In the early 1950's, racial segregation in public schools was the norm across America. Although all the schools in a given district were supposed to be equal, most black schools were far inferior to their white counterparts"
-Black third grade student named Linda Brown
-She walked over a mile every morning when there was a white school just blocks away
-Her father, Oliver Brown tried to get her into a white elementary school
-The principle of the white school refused her enrollment
-The Brown family went to the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People)
-They were joined by other families and in 1951 with help of the NAACP pressed charges to forbid segregation in Topeka public schools
-"Segregation of white and colored children in public schools has a detrimental effect upon the colored children...A sense of inferiority affects the motivation of a child to learn"
-"The Board of Education's defense was that, because segregation in Topeka and elsewhere pervaded many other aspects of life, segregated schools simply prepared black children for the segregation they would face during adulthood"
THATS PATHETIC
-"The board also argued that segregated schools were not neccessarily harmful to black children; great African Americans such as Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, and George Washington Carver had overcome more than just segregated schools to achieve what they achieved."
-"Brown and the NAACP appealed to the Supreme Court on October 1, 1951 and their case was combined with other cases that challenged school segregation in South Carolina, Virginia, and Delaware"
-"The Supreme Court's Brown v. Board of Education decision did not abolish segregation in other public areas, such as restaurants and restrooms, nor did it require desegregation of public schools by a specific time. It did, however, declare the permissive or mandatory segregation that existed in 21 states unconstitutional"
THIS NEXT QUOTE IS MONEY FOR SHO
-"It was a giant step towards complete desegregation of public schools." (talking about Brown case)

EMILY'S TWO POSTS
Forgot to post this earlier. Didn't really think it mattered because I don't have to cite anything but FEEL FREE TO USE THESE as sources or just read them for background information help.
MY EMAIL: epat16@hotmail.com if you prefer to send your paragraphs there... just HURRY
And Sam: YOU STILL HAVE TO DO THE THINKING MAP--I BELIEVE IT'S PART OF OUR CREDIT ALTHOUGH IT MAY BE USELESS NOW. JUST DO IT REGARDLESS PLEASE.
NOW ON TO THE REAL REASON FOR THIS POST:
Article 1) Brown Vs. Board of Education: About the Case
-1954 = most significant judicial turning points in the development of our country
-"Brown v. Board of Education laid the foundation for shaping future national and international policies regarding human rights"
-"violates the 14th amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which guarantees all citizens equal protection of the laws"
-This case wasn't the first stand taken against the education board. Rebellion can go all the way back to 1849 when African Americans already weren't satisfied with their rights.
-This case was one of about 200 cases concerning education dissatisfactions brought to the supreme court in 1951 (IN KANSAS).
-This Brown case was a leading cause or faster way for our country to reach the modern Civil rights Movement.
-Involved in the case were 13 parents and collectively their 20 children. They tried to get them enrolled in one of the 18 white, segregated schools in Topeka, Kansas. While there were only four offered black schools, ridiculous. Oh and by the way, they were denied by each school. Didn't see that one coming.

WE SHOULD PROBABLY START DIS THANG
OKAY FIRST POST, LOVE IT.
BASICALLY-WE'RE PRETTY FAR BEHIND...LETS GET TO WORK.
If I remember correctly:
Me/Emily: Intro/conclusion & works cited
Sam: Cause
Jessie: Cause
Jimmy: Effects
(MAYBS IT'S THE OTHER WAY AROUND)
Either way, we all need to have two CITED research articles. Post them on here as soon as possible.
We don't have anyone playing the role that tells us what time to have what done; but how 'bout we just get it done as soon as we can. Especially considering I'll have to do all the final touches with the intro, conclusion, and alphabetizing your citations. Aight, good plan. Good luck.
*over and out*
