Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)
Brown was argued twice: once in 1952, then again in 1953 after Chief Justice Vinson died and was succeeded by Chief Justice Earl Warren. In 1952, the Respondent's attorney, John Davis argued the following:
He goes on:
"We shall get a finer, better balance of spirit; an infinitely more capable and rounded personality by putting children in schools where they are wanted, and where they are happy and inspired, than in thrusting them into hells where they are ridiculed and hated."
In 1953, Davis added the following arguments:
The petitioner (like a plaintiff) always makes the first argument, so Thurgood Marshall argued Brown's side first, and John Davis argued for the respondent (like a defendant), the Topeka Board of Education, second. The petitioner has the right to reserve part of his or her allotted 30 minutes to rebutt the respondent's argument.
The order of argument follows a standard pattern:
Marshall was the first African American justice and spent his life fighting for equality. As a young man he had experienced discrimination first hand. He was the lawyer for Brown v Topeka and argued that separate but equal was not equal at all. He was a great man and powerful ally for equality and civil rights for all.

The Brown vs Board of Education was a decision about school. The courts declared government could not provide "equal but separate" educations. Schools had to desegregate.

Cause whites did not like blacks and then it was segregation time.
The Warren Court ruled segregated schools were unconstitutional in Brown v Board of Education, (1954), and ordered integration to take place "at all deliberate speed" in Brown v Board of Education II, (1955).
