You are part of the legal team in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education. The case is winding down. The chief attorney for the Topeka Board of Education has just presented his closing arguments, stating his case as to why “separate but equal” should remain the status quo and the law of the land. As the chief attorney for Oliver L
Brown and his co-plaintiffs, it is your turn to present closing arguments. State your case briefly but concisely as to why “separate but equal” is in fact racial segregation and why educational integration must take place.
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: The answer should convincingly include such arguments as inequitable spending on education with regard to blacks vs. whites, distances needed to be traveled to attend same-race schools, the fact that although labeled separate but equal, the quality of education at black schools was hardly equal in quality, and the argument that segregation deprived black students of their constitutional rights as American citizens.
