This event was important to the Civil Rights Movement because it was one of the biggest turning points, and it marked the beginning of the end. The campaign ended with a victory. Lunch counters, drinking fountains, and bathrooms all around Birmingham began to be desegregated. The victory was short lived because it was followed by much violence, which was another key aspect of the civil rights movement. A series of bombings took place in the following months that followed the success of the campaign. These included one at a motel where MLK was staying and another at a Baptist church, all preformed by the KKK, a prevalent opposer of the civil rights movement.

Meaning that whites would no longer be able to keep the african american population under their control, and all children will be learning together. Foe the supporters of the movement they saw the bravery of the little rock nine and it gave them motivation to keep fighting. Things were changing and segregation was beginning to end by law.

In the Brown v. Board of Education court case they did not specify how the integration should take place, so local judicial branches evaded segregation. However, the little rock nine were a group of black students who enrolled at a previously all white school in Arkansas. The governor called in the national guard to block these students from entering the school. He claimed this was in an effort to protect them. To stop the governor's efforts President Eisenhower sent in federal troops to escort the little rock nine into school.

This event specifically was very important to the civil rights movement because it was a formal legislation. Unlike some of the protest, the government couldn’t ignore the issue. The combined effort of many court cases finally tipped the scale and a change had to be made. The ‘separate but equal’ way of life was crumbling and the injustices were being called to attention. Again in the eyes of the media the american people only see innocent children wishing only to go to school and learn and they become sympathetic to the cause.

Oliver brown filed a lawsuit against the Board of Education of Topeka, after his daughter was denied a place at an all white elementary school. He claimed that schools for black children were in deed separated but were definitely not equal, and was a violation of the 14th amendment. Brown’s case and four others regarding school separation made it to the supreme court and the court combined them under the name Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka and Brown won the lawsuit.
