The Civil Rights Movement Education

Aims: Examine how the Civil Rights campaign led to changes in education.

One of the first major events in the Civil Rights Movement was over education. Twenty states in the USA, all in the South, had segregated schools Schools for Black children were much worse. Therefore Black children were denied the same opportunities as Whites.

Division In Education

Brown v the Topeka Board of Education In 1951, Linda Brown was an eight year old Black girl. She had to walk a great distance to school as she was banned for attending the school near to where she lived. The school she attended was much worse than her local one. Her father challenged this discrimination and took the Topeka School Board to Court. They were supported by the NAACP – National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People. The NAACP was setup in 1909 and campaigned for equality for coloured people

The case was taken to the Supreme Court in America, where the Browns were successful. In 1954 the Supreme Court ordered that schools should be desegregated. This was an important victory – if segregation in education was illegal, the next step was that segregation in other areas should also be made illegal. In 1955 the Supreme Court ordered that schools should be desegregated as fast as possible. By the end of 1956, not one black child attended a white school in the South.
