Ferguson, holding for the first time that de jure segregation in the public schools violated the principle of equal protection under the law guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.-http://www.infoplease.com/encyclopedia/history/brown-v-board-education-tope...

They were telling the Court how most of the African American Children did not as well of education and as well as spaces to learn and grow

They were say the facilities were not “equal” at all

In 1955 all schools became desegregated

This problem mainly applied to Southern School Systems and how they treated and had slaves.

This caused more and more African Americans to give their children education and more freedom
