Brown v. Board of Education - 65 Years and Counting - The Zebra

The case of Brown v. Board of education was one case that is important to history. This case was about the integration of schools. Some of the arguments for the bored of education was that churches were separated by culture and by choice so the schools should be separated. The economy showed that there was an average 10,000 dollars difference between whites and blacks’. State should be the ones to make the ruling about separate but equal and not the federal government. Whites are superior to blacks was one of the arguments that the bored argued. The history of the segregation and the history of whites vs blacks is one that is a scary one. History shows that people like to stay in own groups, they prefer to be around people they are most comfortable around and relate too. The board wants the supreme court to focus on Plessy v Ferguson and honor stare decisis. The board also argues that equal protection, separate places are equal. One argument that the board brought up was that men's and women's bathroom are two different things that separate two people. Despite these arguments brought by the board of education the judge ruled in favor of Brown.

 After watching the video on reconstruction it really opened my eyes to how not that long ago it was. Just in 2015, a kid walked into a predominantly black church said a prayer and opened fire in the middle of the church causing harm to nine victims. This issue goes back years to a time period we call reconstruction. Reconstruction was a time in which we got rid of the old ways and tried to create new ways. In these ways it caused the old whites to be angry with the new way. It caused tension between the old lights and the new lights.  The African American culture was under attack, the old whites were trying to erase everything that has happened. There were many different attempts and different events that have occurred to harm the African American group.

  Andrew Johnson became president in 1865 when Abraham Lincoln was shot by John Wilkes Booth. President Johnson only served one term. Served as Vice President under Lincoln because he helped gain the support of southerners who supported the union. President Johnson was impeached in the house but not in senate by only one vote. President Johnson was a southern who had ideas that black people were worth less than a white person.He vetoed anything that put blacks at the same level of whites. He made a amendment where whites can get all land but blacks do not get any land. Another way President Johnson made sure that blacks could not become equal was that Johnson vetoed the civil rights bill of 1866 , which would extend liberties of whites to blacks.
