In episode 8 of Supreme Court Briefs, the Court unanimously has major issues with Plessy v. Ferguson, and ends up dramatically changing the future of the Civil Rights Movement by ruling segregation "inherently unequal.”

Reading Through History: The Great Supreme Court Cases
Topeka, KS
1950
Schools were segregated by skin color. Each day, 8-year old Linda Brown and her sister had to walk one mile, crossing several busy railroad tracks along the way, to get to a bus that led them to school across town. Now, an elementary school already existed just four blocks from their home, but this school was for white children only, and Linda Brown and her sister were African American.
Linda’s father, Oliver Brown, tried to enroll her in the white only elementary school, but the principal of the school wouldn’t allow it. So Brown to the Topeka’s branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, or NAACP, and asked for help. The NAACP had actually already been planning on challenging segregation in public schools. The organization helped 12 other African American parents attempt to enroll their children in whites-only schools in the Topeka school district. A major goal of the NAACP was to bring down the precedent set up by Plessy v. Ferguson, the 1896 Supreme Court decision that said segregated facilities based on skin color was ok, as long as both facilities were the same quality. This became known as the “separate but equal” doctrine.
The NAACP helped Brown and the rest of the parents sue the Board of Education of the city of Topeka after the district continued to refuse to let their children enroll in whites-only schools. The parents claimed their children’s rights, as protected by the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment, were being violated. The NAACP put Oliver Brown at the head of the roster as a legal strategy.
The Board of Education argued that segregation was already a way of life, and segregated schools simply got them ready for the segregation they would encounter as adults. They also claimed that segregated schools were not harmful to black children.
The United States District Court for the District of Kansas heard the case, and ruled in favor of the Board of Education, using the ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson as their justification. And yet, weirdly, the three-judge District Court panel argued that segregation hurt African American children. Still, they insisted that whites-only and blacks-only schools in Topeka were of equal quality in terms of facilities, the qualifications of teachers, transportation, and what they were taught.
Brown and the rest of the parents appealed to the Supreme Court. As it turns out, there were parents across the country fighting fiercely against school segregation in public schools as well. In 1952, the Court considered five different cases that all dealt with the issue. Ultimately, the Court just combined all five cases under the name of Brown v. Board of Education. The NAACP had been involved in all five cases, and appointed Thurgood Marshall, a
future Supreme Court justice, to argue the case for Brown.
The Court heard the case in spring of 1953, but remained divided on the issue, and they knew this was a big freaking deal, so they didn’t want to rush it. Chief Justice Fred Vinson was really worried about a close vote that would dramatically change the country, and he, in particular, wanted to postpone the decision. He died in September, and President Dwight D. Eisenhower nominated Earl Warren, the former governor of California, as Vinson’s replacement. The Court reheard the case in December 1953, with Warren now leading. For several months, the justices debated and discussed the case.
Warren was able to do what Vinson was not- he brought all the Justices together to agree on a unanimous decision.
That’s right. On May 17th, 1954, the court voted 9-0 in support of Brown. This overturned the now infamous Plessy v. Ferguson decision, saying that segregation of schools based on skin color went against the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The court also argued that segregated schools made African American children feel inferior and damaged their development. Warren gave the opinion of the Court, saying “We conclude that in the field of public education, the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”

    "Segregated schools get them ready for the segregation they will encounter as adults." Sounds awfully similar to the logic the high school I went to (and probably plenty of others) used to justify their cookie-cutter curriculum.

    A few notes on this one: 1.) Warren was not the FORMER Governor of California when Ike appointed him Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. He was the CURRENT Governor of California. 2.) As you might imagine, Robert Jackson ended up dying shortly after the ruling. By the time Brown II was decided, he had been replaced by John Marshall Harlan II. 3.) Linda Brown ended up running for Kansas's Second District in the US House of Representatives in 1996. However, she was beaten in the Republican primary by former distance-running pro Jim Ryun.

    There are after all only five possible outcomes in a full panel ... 9-0, 8-1, 7-2, 6-3 and 5-4, then it just turns around... so 9-0 isn't that rare a decision. Opening Arguments did have a rough statistic on it once and i think it was something between 25 and 30% as it's a pretty common case when the law situation isn't all that controversial... Next common split was IMO already the almost complete split 5-4, you know... for the TRULY controversial decisions...

    Robert Jackson being very ill and still somehow showing up is a wildly interesting story as an aside. He was gravely ill, dealing with various medical ailments, suffered a heart attack in March 1954, showed up on that day in May 1954 and died in October at only age 61. When Mr. Beat says the media was shocked to see him for that reporters' meeting, he is not fibbing. The media was truly an utterly shocked to see him given how bad his condition was. Fun fact, Jackson is the last Supreme Court justice without a law degree, he was admitted to the bar via internship/apprenticeship which used to be more common.

    Jackson's clerk at the time of Brown was one William Rehnquist, who actually prepared a brief against Brown before Jackson changed his mind. This came back to haunt Rehnquist, though he claimed he was only writing to defend Jackson's views at the time, which was kind of an obligation for a clerk.

Which I always found fastinating it is never brought up on this topic.

    Speaking of Education… Mr.Beat! I have a Supreme Court decision recommendation! San Antonio vs Rodriguez. The 14th Amendment says that everyone is entitled to their rights and are protected equally under the law…however when it comes to education, it is supposedly not a right. Therefore it is constitutional for people of higher wealth, to get better education. I’m probably doing this very badly, but please go do a video on this! It’s an absolutely huge ruling yet no one knows about it!

    Common sense requires a certain amount of leeway there. Obviously, those places need to be segregated, but they can't be entirely equal either, or you'd have to put urinals in the women's bathrooms and restrict the number of women's bathrooms to the same number as men's rooms in all public places. It would also be awkward to have condoms and pads sold in the bathrooms of both genders.

Imagine an entire generation of American children that will never know about their nations true history all because their parents don't want to deal with the questions they may have about life. We have truly become soft as a country. People ask whats killing our nation? Well, our refusual to learn from the past certainly doesnt help.

    I can’t imagine a world without this ruling, and only to think that this happened after the 1950’s is even more appalling. As someone who tries to understand both sides of any argument; I fail to see how segregation does anything more than dehumanize, debilitate, and cripple society as a whole. Wouldn’t it be in everyone’s best interest to allow everyone equal education? How would crippling a percentage of your population make your country productive in societal and economic development?

Board of Education is One of the Best Supreme Court Cases in American History and Brown v. Board of Education is One of the Most Important Supreme Court Cases in American History because it paved and cause integration in public schools and it Ended School Segregation in Public Schools and Earl Warren was an American Lawyer and Earl Warren was the 14th Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court from October 5, 1953 to June 23, 1969 and Earl Warren was Appointed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower and from October 5, 1953 to June 23, 1969 was 15 Years and Earl Warren was the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court for 15 Years and Earl Warren had a Job for 15 Years and Earl Warren Retired from his Job as the Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court in 1969 and it’s Amazing when someone has a Job for 15 Years as an Adult.

    As a person who half black and half white, I always wonder what the public's perception of my mix would be during that time period. I'm not simply black or white and my skin is white passing though my features are of African decent. Would white supremacists still try to kill me? Would the black community still stand with me or firmly against (like how Malcom x was "anti-whites helping the black cause")? Basically, It would suck but idek if I'd be safe from either group.

    Nearly every racist white group would see mixed people as bad. And I think based on biographies of the era black people had mixed feelings towards mixed families. So you'd have most likely been worse off (with no extra rights and being less welcome in black communities). Except if you are white passing (ie look white) at which point you could possibly integrated into white communities (and so have more rights than someone who was only black) but that's not a given.

There has been so much change in 2020 since the murder of George Floyd. GREAT VIDEO IDEA coming up. May I say it was a joy seeing the history of, J. C.
