Arguments
In the case of Brown v. Board of Education, each case tried to have the winning argument. Here is another brief summary of their arguments:
Brown - (Oliver Brown)
He argued that separate but equal could never be equal, because that just being separated made colored people feel inferior , and therefore, it wasn't equal.
He proved that the civil rights amendments also protected him. The Civil Rights amendments were the:
Thirteenth Amendment- It made slavery illegal in the States.
Fourteenth Amendment- This amendment protected freed slaves rights, giving anyone born in the U.S.A automatic citizenship.
Fifteenth Amendment- This protected African American's voting rights by prohibiting state and national goverments from refusing anyone of voting because of their race, color, or if they were previously a slave.
Board of Education-
They argued that separate but equal was still working and there was no need to fix it.
They also argued that the idea of mixed schools would enrage people and the judge would be to blame.
Justice Earl Warren chose Oliver Brown and Thurgood Marshall to be the winners.
