BP #7 - Research christiana

African-American children in Topeka, Kansas were denied access to all-white schools due to rules allowing for separate but equal facilities. The idea of separate but equal was given legal standing with the 1896 Supreme Court ruling in Plessey v. Ferguson. This code required that any separate services had to be of equal quality. However, the accusers in this case argued that segregation was naturally unequal.
The Brown decision was truly major because it overturned the separate but equal rule well-known by the Plessey result. While previously the thirteenth amendment http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifwas interpreted so that equality before the law could be met through isolated facilities, with Brown this was no longer true. The fourteenth amendment guarantees equal shelter under the law, and the Court ruled that separate facilities based on race were ipso facto unable.
One piece of evidence that really unfair the Supreme Court decision was research performed by two educational psychologist Kenneth and Mamie Clark. They presented children as young as three with white and brown dolls. They found that overall the children rejected the brown dolls when asked to pick which they liked the best, wanted to play with, and thought were a nice color. This underlined the inherent inequality of a separate educational system based on race.
i think is kind of painfully because those little kid was going through at that time. separate school children from the school was not a good ideas because they were using their colored kids re better then the white.
