Brown v. Board of Education is usually associated with the Board of Education in Topeka, Kansas where the case was first filed; however, the class action suit was really a consolidation of four cases from different parts of the country grouped together under the same name.
The four cases consolidated under the name Brown v. Board of Education:
Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954) (Kansas)
Briggs v. Elliot (South Carolina)
Davis v. County Board of Education of Prince Edward County (Virginia)
Gebhart v. Belton (Delaware)

∙ 11y agoWhen the case was brought to the court it was about school segregation . The parents of 7 year old Louise Brown wanted to enroll her in a all white school. The Brown's lawyer was Marshal. He argued that the policy of separate but equal was not equality at all, but discrimination and segregation. He won the case, but that was not the end of the battle. As Louise Brown entered school people yelled at her and the school,put her in a classroom alone. She was not allowed to play with the other children as well. The decision began school integration and the many white Southerners began the idea of school vouchers to stop integration of the school systems. School vouchers were to keep the all white schools white and as a means to keep African American children from attending.

When was brown versus school Board of Education?
Brown versus the Board of Education was decided by the Supreme Court in 1954. This landmark case did away with the "separate but equal" form of segregation-- in reality, black schools were indeed separate from white schools, but they were not in any way equal. They received the least funding, the oldest books, and the least educated (and poorest paid) teachers; they also frequently lacked college preparatory classes. Once Brown v. Board of Ed was decided in 1954, it said that white-run schools could no longer arbitrarily deny a black student admission. And although it took a while for the decision to be fully implemented, it was the first major step towards equal access to education for American black students.

Board of Education of Topeka was initiated at the federal court level in February 1951, when Linda Brown was in third grade, but was not decided by the U.S. Supreme Court until May 1954, when she was already enrolled for fall in Topeka's integrated middle school. Only the Topeka elementary schools were segregated at that time; the middle school had been integrated in 1941, and the high school had been integrated since it opened in 1871 (although it segregated the sports and social programs).Linda's younger sisters benefited more directly from the ruling, and were able to attend the neighborhood school, Sumner Elementary, just as Linda had hoped to.Brown v. Board of Education put an end to the concept of Black schools and White schools, by ruling that segregation in education was unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment. Although dismantling the old school systems took awhile, and met with resistance from some whites, African-American children began attending "integrated" schools.Case Citation:Brown v.
