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.
