The Board of Education case of 1954 marked a turning point in the history of race relations in the United States (Separate, 2016). During this time in history, segregation laws restricted African American students to attend school with white students. As a consequence, a student by the name of Linda Brown who lived in Topeka, Kansas became fed up with the way she was being treated, therefore, Linda, her father, and several other parents in their community filed a lawsuit against the Board of Education of the City of Topeka, Kansas in the United States District Court for the District of Kansas (Administrative, n.d.). Brown v. The Board of Education initially started out as five different cases submitted by parents, however, as the courts began to consolidate them Browns case stood out the most. The plaintiffs of this case took many personal risks in being involved in this case. Many of the plaintiffs became unemployed or even had death threats made to them. Linda Browns father argued that separate schools were unconstitutional because they violated equal protection guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment (Administrative, n.d.). Additionally, Thurgood Marshall argued for this case. Marshall was a Harveard Law school graduate who used psychological studies as well as many civil rights examples to get his point across.
