May+17,+1954-Brown+vs+Board+of+Education

__**Summary**__- Oliver Brown’s daughter, Linda, was required to travel 1 mile to her segregated black school while a white school was seven blocks from her house. Race-based segregation of children into “separate but equal” public schools was found to not be constitutional. This race-based segregation violates the Equal Protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

__**Impact on Education**__- All children should have the right to go to any public school regardless of their race.
