This particular case was another corner stone to the forming of the United States we know today. This case represents a set of cases that denied black students from going to the same school facilities as white students. The former reason was that the educational system can be "separate, but equal." With the help of Chief Justice Earl Warren, he persuaded the court that having facilities that separate two different races because of their skin color inherently means that they are not equal. With the backing of the Fourteenth Amendment, this court case got rid of segregated schools.
This decision had to be done in order to move a step towards a less racial nation. When there is enough evidence in our nation that proves that the education facilities of both black and white school are not equal, then revision must be made. When these schools separate people by race, they are also morally segregated due to the idea that they are inferior and by the evidence of having smaller schoolrooms, less supplies, and bad learning conditions.
Chief Justice Earl Warren took the right and a daring step to change history. He went through the words of the constitution one by one, especially that of the Fourteenth Amendment and it still went back to the "separate, but equal" clause. This phrase has indefinitely changed the rights of people of all ethnic origins.
