Question

Using the Brown v. Board of Education case from this week's discuss preparation, discuss the significance of the case, and assess whether you think that race relations are getting better or worse in this country? Why?

Answer 1

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka is one of the landmark judgement of the U.S Supreme Court. In 1954 The U.S Supreme Court made a unanimous decision and declared that "Seperate educational facilities are inherently unequal" and this violate the U.S Constitution's fourteenth amendment clause for equal protection.

The case was initiated in 1951 when a black student was refused by a nearby school to admit and advice her to take admission in a segregated black elementary school. Not only Browns but many others were also faced similar issues. This leads them to file a suit against the segregation policy and alleged it was unconstitutional.

The decision of the court was to end the segregation as it is unconstitutional. However this didn't bring in to practical as the racial discrimination is still continuing in the school in U.S in one way or another way.

This decision has made some negative impact as well . After this judgement the schools were made with integrated schools and fired black principals and teachers from the segregated schools.

The racial discrimination in U.S has decreased very much as compared to early 1800 and 1900 but again there is a rise in racial discrimination in the recent past.

When we examine statistics, 60 percentage of the employed black women worked as domestic servants. As compared to 2019 emplyed black women worked as domestic servants are less than 3 percentage and more than 60% black women hold white-collar jobs. This shows that there is development in the social life of black people.

The major issue nowadays black people are facing is the criminal atrocities they are facing and which are increased well in the very recent future, especially after the Trump came into power.
