The Brown v. education case was based upon the racial segregation between whites and blacks. It all started when Oliver Brown wanted his daughter Linda to go to a white school in Kansas in 1950. He was told no, so in 1951 the case began. Brown wanted to have integrated schooling and the board of education said no that it should be segregated. So he went to the NAACP to fight for his daughters right to go to the school and lost the case. He then took the case to the supreme court, which was appealed on October 1st, 1951. The case was argued for many years, and on May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court said that "it was not fair to have black and white students seperated in different schools."
