“Now is the time to lift our nation from the shifting sands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time. I have a dream." – Martin Luther King Jr. It is because of the Brown v. The Board of Education court case that allows the University of Texas at Austin, along with hundreds of universities, to be considered diverse. This case opened new doors to racial opportunities that have become prominent in the present day. What began as a call for equality, would change the world in its own way Brown, who does not define himself as a person but rather as a group that fought for racial equality , would clash with the Board of Education in a duel of words to bring equality among the people by tirelessly fighting against racial discrimination, removing interracial barriers to better education, and stopping restrictions placed on children of the opposite color, these three ideas encompass one meaning: segregation. Case fought against such segregation and supported the belief that education should not be limited by skin color. Through a summary of the period, a look at education, the reasons for the conflict and my personal opinion, we will understand how Brown vs. The Board of Education has created a new era of learning. The transcript of Brown vs. Board of Education reads: “A three-judge federal district court has denied relief to plaintiffs on the so-called 'separate but equal' doctrine announced by this Court in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537. Under this doctrine, equality of treatment is afforded when the races are provided with substantially equal facilities, even if those facilities are separate.” During the 1950s, the nation was riddled with inequality. Even after Americans of all colors have united... middle of paper... as terrible as Rosa Parks resisting sitting at the front of the bus. This court case was every bit as powerful as the speeches of Martin Luther King Jr. and others like them. This case changed the world and we are witnesses of it. “The decision marked the turning point in America's willingness to address the consequences of centuries of racial discrimination, a practice that dates back almost to the first settlements of the New World.” Page 9Every day we look outside or attend classes we can witness how the past has shaped our present. The question is: what will you do for the future? How will you be the change in the world? Only you can decide this. For now, we thank those who fought for freedom and hope that we can be compared to their sacrifice in one way or another. This world is constantly changing, both for better and for worse. How you will change the world?
