Brown vs. the Board of Education

Brown vs. the Board of Education was huge stepping stone on the way to equality for African Americans in the United States. Education is very important to any society because educated people can have better jobs and make more money, leading to a better country as a whole. With the ruling in favor of Brown, this case gave black children the same opportunity to a good education as white children had. There were some schools that still found ways around this, and many still did not integrate, but this case broke ground for later generations.

Every time I hear about Brown vs. the Board I think of Remember the Titans, because their school's integrated football team demonstrated to the rest of the student body that seemingly difficult things, like integration, were possible. If there were more TC Williams High Schools (the one in Remember the Titans) then civil rights might have been a little bit easier and quicker along the way, because "children are the future."
