Thurgood Marshall and a team of naacp attorneys won Brown vs the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. In this landmark decision, the Supreme Court held that segregation in public education violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.The Brown decision inspired the marches and demonstrations of the civil rights movement of the 1950s and ’60s. These wide-spread protests ultimately led to the enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting rights Act of 1965 and the Fair Housing Act of 1968. During this period, the Association represented civil rights workers and fought to implement Brown in numerous desegregation cases across the nation. Cases were filed that successfully challenged discrimination in public accommodations, housing, employment, voting.The Supreme Court held that Blacks, enslaved or free, could not be citizens of the United States. Chief Justice Taney, arguing from the original intentions of the framers of the 1787 Constitution, stated that at the time of the adoption of the Constitution, Black people were considered a subordinate and inferior class of beings, "with no rights which the White man was bound to respect."Brown II was intended to work out the mechanics of desegregation. Due to the vagueness of the term "all deliberate speed," many states were able to stall the Court’s order to desegregate their schools. The legal and social obstacles that southern states put in place and encouraged, in their effort to thwart integration, served as a catalyst for the student protests that launched the civil rights movement.]]> 2019-02-19 15:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/dinoh494/1huh28iygyrp/wish/332732093 ray_winthrop https://padlet.com/dinoh494/1huh28iygyrp/wish/334878286 2019-02-25 14:56:30 UTC https://padlet.com/dinoh494/1huh28iygyrp/wish/334878286 dinoh494 https://padlet.com/dinoh494/1huh28iygyrp/wish/334887584 2019-02-25 15:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/dinoh494/1huh28iygyrp/wish/334887584
