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.
