 * BASIC FACTS OF THE CASES (more than one) (check video, [|Link 1], [|Link 2], [|Link 3])**

they argued that the supreme court had misinterpreted the 14th amendment and it did not allow the segregation of schools that it was against the federal law.
 * MAIN ARGUMENTS OF THE PLAINTIFF (for integration) (check [|Link 1])

It allowed the government to prohibit segregation in schools based on race. Psychological tested showed that it effected the brains of the african american children in a harmful way.** **MAIN ARGUMENTS OF THE DEFENDANTS (for segregation) (check [|Link 1]) The constitution did not require african americans and whites to go to the same school. social separation was a regional custom and they should be left to their own affairs. it was not harmful to blacks they try to make the schools equal but the blacks were still living in the effects of slavery so it would be a while before they could compete with whites in the classroom.**

**THE CHANGE IN THE COURT (leading to a decision) (check [|Link 1]) One of the justices died and eisenhower replaced him with a guy that wanted a unanimous decision to overturn Plessy changed the course of history.

THE COURT DECISION (in your own words) (check [|Link 1] and Link 2) the court ruled that the jim crow only really applied to transportation and things of that sort not education.THey thought that separate but equal wasn't real equal at all and that education was key to the youth and there should not be separate schools for blacks and whites.**

**ENFORCING THE DECISION (discuss "with all deliberate speed) (Check [|Link 1] ****)** they wanted to have schools move with haste and integrate soon but that was a problem because like always there was some opposition to the law.A lot of whites welcomed the segregation but others did not. They picketed they took kids out f school because the didn't want them with whites they protested. It was a federal law now though so that they could not do anything about and it was going to be enforced. the battle for freedom spread it encouraged them to fight for integration to fight for what they wanted because now it was legal and they could and should be integrated. The African Americans kept fighting and fighting and soon their fight spread all over the country encouraging integration.**
