Thus, he was arrested for not sitting in separate seating areas. While African Americans recently received suffrage, SCOTUS still legalized segregation to a certain degree. The Supreme Court allowed "separate but equal" facilities, which lasted for over half a century. ]]> 2023-02-07 22:04:08 UTC https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472528726 1945991 https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472528905 After many months of protests and arguments, the 19th Amendment was finally passed to allow women the right to vote.

Brown's request was denied, thus he with the assistance of the NAACP was able to sue the school district. Because they lost at the state level, they appealed to SCOTUS, and they finally agreed that the precedent case (Plessy v. Ferguson), which had established "separate but equal" segregation was legal was flawed. ]]> 2023-02-07 22:04:53 UTC https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472529240 1945991 https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472529383
9 African-American girls were enrolled in an all-white school. Although President Eisenhower was against segregation, the state governor Faubus supported segregation at the state level. This immediately became the national attention and debate regarding racial segregation and civil rights. Due to the huge uproar and rage from the white community, the National Guard had to escort these young women from and to their classes. Eventually, Ernest Green became the first African-American to graduate from Little Rock Central High School.]]> 2023-02-07 22:05:07 UTC https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472529383 1945991 https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472529511 This was a major proposition from President Kennedy prior to his assassination, which was later continued and passed by his successor President Johnson, to desegregate public facilities, including public schools, and make voting a lot easier for the underprivileged and minority groups. Also, federal funding was not provided to school districts that didn't support desegregation. ]]> 2023-02-07 22:05:18 UTC https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472529511 1945991 https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472529613 The Voting Rights Act prohibited literacy tests as a way of measure to determine whether or not one was eligible to vote.

Wade, a SCOTUS case that focused on one's privacy, specifically abortion rights, ruled that a woman's right to have an abortion does fall under the due process clause of the 14th Amendment. SCOTUS ruled that states may not violate a woman's right to have an abortion during the first trimester of pregnancy no matter the case (the decision is only up to the woman and her physician). During the second trimester, states can regulate to a certain degree whether or not a woman can have an abortion ONLY if it's reasonably connected to a to-be mother's health. At the last trimester, states can completely have control on whether or not abortions are allowed or prohibited. ]]> 2023-02-07 22:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472530130 1945991 https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472530626 In a SCOTUS case, Bakke legally fought against the University of California at Davis that the university had rejected him to medical school due to affirmative action. Bakke argued that he had higher academic excellence than the other applicants who were accepted and that it wasn't fair due to the 14th's equal protection clause. Thus, after this case, it became one of the precedent cases to establish what the boundaries were for affirmative action.]]> 2023-02-07 22:06:30 UTC https://padlet.com/1945991/obsmu369ol13iudq/wish/2472530626
