∙ 13y agoNo. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote the only published opinion in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. However, when Warren circulated his draft of the opinion in early May, it was met with an enthusiastic response from the Associate Justices.
Justice William O. Douglas immediately wrote a handwritten note: "I do not think I would change a single word in the memoranda you gave me this morning. The two draft opinions meet my idea exactly. You have done a beautiful job."
Justice Harold H. Burton sent a note the day the verdict was announced, "Today I believe has been a great day for America and the Court....I cherish the privilege of sharing in this." In a tribute to Warren's judicial statesmanship, Burton added, "To you goes the credit for the character of the opinions which produced the all important unanimity. Congratulations."
Justice Felix Frankfurter also sent a personal note that day stating, "This is a great day that will live in glory. It is also a great day in the history of the Court..."

∙ 13y agoBrown v. Board of Education is the short citation for Oliver Brown, et al., v. Board of Education of Topeka, et al. (et al. is a Latin abbreviation that means "and others"). The Topeka, Kansas, school district was the defendant in a class action suit filed by 13 adults and their 21 children who fought a Kansas state law allowing communities with a population larger than 15,000 to segregate their schools.
The Brown in the title is Oliver Brown, father of Linda Brown (Thompson), whose story is most often associated with the case.
NAACP Chief Counsel Thurgood Marshall argued Brown before the US Supreme Court in 1952 and 1953; the high court unanimously found in favor of the Plaintiffs (Brown, et al.) in 1954, ruling that segregation in education was a violation of the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause. This decision overturned the infamous 1896 Plessy v. Furguson ruling that had declared "separate but equal" facilities constitutional.
Contrary to popular belief, by the time it reached the Supreme Court, the case was not just about Linda Brown or her school district, but was a compilation of five separate cases sharing the name Brown v. Board of Education because they all related to racial segregation.

∙ 8y agoIt was that all blacks had a chance to sit down in class and be equal like their white peers. This was crucial in making sure that they would have the same quality of education as everyone else. Since then, the ruling has ensured the equal rights to an education for blacks.
