Answer 2

The decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas was handed down on May 17, 1954.

Brown v. Board of Education was a 1954 Supreme Court Case in Topeka, Kansas. In this case, Thurgood Marshall was the main lawyer along with McKinley Burnett that helped end segregation in public schools. The law suit was filed by Oliver Brown who wanted integration in schools so his daughter could attend the nearby white school a few blocks from their home. As a result of this case and the challenging of "separate but equal", segregation in schools was made illegal on May 17, 1954.

The Civil Rights Movement was already well begun. The Brown v. Board decision (which ruled that "separate but equal" public schools were inherently unequal and unconstitutional) was a result of the early victories in the civil rights movement.
