Introduction Paragraph Revised: The Case Of Brown Vs. Board Of Education

Introduction Paragraph Revised: Segregation not only stands as a hindrance when attempting to gain an education it also can be found harmful to one’s mentality. The word segregation in most cases means a separation between different backgrounds whether it be racial, ethical, or even religious. Segregation, however, is not as simple as the definition portrays. Segregation had been the very plague to root itself from not only within our nation but also inside of each of us. Even to this very day, segregation finds itself creeping into our now reformed society. People even currently separate themselves from people of other cultures or viewpoints.

Board of Education, thirteen parents sued the Topeka Board of Education for the violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Clark testified that not only was this removing their rights and causing a huge inconvenience for these individuals but segregation also did something to each child mentality. In his studies, Dr. Clark did a psychology evaluation using dolls. Each African American child was presented both a black and white doll. However, that being said most of the children chose the white doll over the black doll for they felt inferior to the white race.
