2. Brown V. Board of Education • What interests us is how segregation can lead to discrimination even in education. • We are angered by the fact that the quality of education was affected by the color of people’sskin. • We would like to learn more about segregation, discrimination, and how the theory one person is better than the other originated.

3. Brown V. Board of Education “Like a cancer segregation destroys the morale of our citizens and disfigures our country throughout the world.” This quote was spoken by Thurgood Marshall when the barriers of segregation were broken with the case, Brown V. Board of Education.

5. Thurgood Marshall Audio Clip Thurgood Marshall who helped to win the case of Brown V. Board of Education, spoke a line that has been known and spoken throughout the nation. The picture at the right is of a woman and child sitting in front of the Supreme Court building. They hear the news of integration of schools and are thrilled.

6. Schools before integration These pictures show both the white and African-American schools before the integration of races. Notice the differences of the quality of the buildings in which school was held daily. In some districts like the one that Linda Carol Brown lived in, African American schools were located much farther away from the home that the person lived in. Busing was also often times not provided for the children who lived certain distances away from schools. Therefore, until integration many children had to walk great distances in order to attend school, a privilege we all take for granted today. African-American School before integration White school before integration

7. Central High • What interests us about this incident is how much courage these nine students had in order to be the first African-American students to enter Central High. Central High was one of the finest public schools in the South. Until these nine children decided they wanted a better education, the school was not integrated. The governor of Little rock, Arkansas who was set in his ways about integration, vowed he would keep the 9 African-American students out of Central High. • What angered us about this incident is that children back in that time were denied a better education due to their race or ethnicity. • We would like to learn more about the differences in the curriculum of the two types of schools, and if it was affected by segregation and racism.

15. Famous quotes spoken by Martin Luther King Jr. - A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death. - The curse of poverty has no justification in our age. It is socially as cruel and blind as the practice of cannibalism at the dawn of civilization, when men ate each other because they had not yet learned to take food from the soil or to consume the abundant animal life around them. The time has come for us to civilize ourselves by the total, direct and immediate abolition of poverty. -Success, recognition, and conformity are the bywords of the modern world where everyone seems to crave the anesthetizing security of being identified with the majority. These are quotes made famous by Martin Luther King Jr.

Rosa Parks one day refused to give up her seat in the front of the bus so a white man could sit. She is also known as the mother of the Civil Rights Movement. • What makes us angry about this incident is that just because of the race of a woman, she could not sit in a certain seat on the bus. • We would like to learn more about the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the process that Rosa Parks what Rosa Parks actually did to help end segregation.
