Once the case was decided, the South was freed from the unfair laws. The Ackerman's Brown wrote,
"Among other things, Brown invalidated deeply entrenched state laws that blanketed the South, reflected and reinforced the civil rights movement, won for the Court tremendous prestige in large areas of the country and internationally, generated a backlash that transformed Southern politics, and recast senatorial confirmation of judicial nominees."
After the case was over, in Topeka, public schools started to integrate. Black and Latino students fought for more ethnic courses in the curriculum. Charles Scott Jr., one of the attorney for Brown sued for another lawsuit because segregation started to appear again.
In Clarendon County, South Carolina, public schools are integrated and both black and white students attend school today. Today, majority of the population is black and most students in public schools are African Americans.
In Washington, D.C., all public schools obeyed the decision that was made in the Supreme Court. There was still racial tension and white flight. By 1970, 90% of the students are black in public schools (americanhistory). Today, schools still face the same problems as other school systems in the urban area.
In Prince Edward County, Virginia, there was a “massive resistance,”or the closing of all schools, a county’s response to integration in 1959-1964. The black children were known as the “crippled generation.” Segregationists supported local white students in private schools by sending money. Once public schools reopened for blacks students in 1964, more white students enrolled. In Wilmington, Delaware, schools started to integrate in 1952. Federal courts organized a busing program because of the white flight from the city caused problems and opposition. As the white population decreased, Latino population increased. Today, the city includes a diverse students and a choice plan for each neighborhood.
It gave a big impact for the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and allowed more integration in bathrooms, meeting, and so on. The Smithsonian National Museum of American History said,
“The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education marked a turning point in the history of race relations in the United States. On May 17, 1954, the Court stripped away constitutional sanctions for segregation by race, and made equal opportunity in education the law of the land.”
The legacy that is remained today is the achieving of equality. Sandra Day O’Connor said,
“This Court has long recognized that ‘education...is the very foundation of good citizenship’ Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954). For this reason, the diffusion of knowledge and opportunity through public institutions of higher education must be accessible to all individuals regardless of race or ethnicity.”
Not only did it achieve equality within races, it also found a good citizenship between them.
