Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)

School Segregation

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Brown v. Board of Education that racially separate educational facilities were inherently unequal. This case led to the desegregation of public schools in the U.S.

Public schools were gradually desegregated, or integrated.

This didn't happen as quickly as some people believe because the order for desegregation wasn't formulated until the year after the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision, in Brown v. Board of Education II, 349 US 294 (1955).

In Brown II, the Supreme Court declined to set a firm deadline for desegregation, so many school districts, particularly in the South, delayed making changes for years, petitioned the court for exception and extensions, and attempted to circumvent the order by redistricting. A few cities, like Little Rock, Arkansas, openly defied the Supreme Court, allowing bigoted members of the community to block integration with intimidation and threats of violence.

President Eisenhower responded to the crisis in Little Rock by sending a National Guard troop to protect the nine African-American students enrolled at the "white" high school, but otherwise did little to enforce the Court's decision.

Desegregation didn't begin in earnest until Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

The Court declared that "separate but equal," the legal precedent that enforced the idea of segregation, was unconstitutional in public schools. American schools became integrated, and both black and white students attended school together.

The Supreme Court's decision in Brown was similar to the decision President Truman made when he desegregated the military in Korea several years earlier.
