    SEGREGATION IN

    EDUCATION
    Plessy v. Ferguson
    Brown v. Board of Education
    Does racism exist in Romania?
    Plessy v. Ferguson

    ■ was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court issued in 1896. It upheld the
    constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities as long as the
    segregated facilities were equal in quality – a doctrine that came to be known as
    "separate but equal“
    ■ Plessy is widely regarded as one of the worst decisions in U.S. Supreme Court
    history. Despite its infamy, the decision itself has never been explicitly overruled.
    However, a series of subsequent decisions—beginning with Brown v. Board of
    Education in 1954, which held that Plessy's "separate but equal" doctrine is
    unconstitutional in the context of schools and educational facilities—have severely
    weakened it to the point that it is usually considered to have been de facto
    overruled.
    Brown v. Board of Education

    ■ was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared
    state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be
    unconstitutional. The decision effectively overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision
    of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation, insofar as it applied to public
    education
    ■ separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. As a result, de jure racial
    segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth
    Amendment of the United States Constitution. This ruling paved the way for
    integration and was a major victory of the Civil Rights Movement, and a model for
    many future impact litigation cases.
    Civil Rights Act of 1964

    ■ is a landmark civil rights and US labor law in the United States that outlaws
    discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It prohibits
    unequal application of voter registration requirements, racial segregation in schools,
    employment, and public accommodations.
    A few years later…

    ■ The South is the least segregated region for black students


    ■ New York state now is the most segragated system in the US
    ■ Unfortunately, blacks and latinos are more likely to attend schools with more
    inexperienced teachers
    ■ How did the Obama administration impact this fight against racism?
    Why should we care about abolishing
    racism?
    Thank you!
