Brown V. Board of Education
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483, 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 overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation, insofar as it applied to public education.

In 1984, the Texas Legislature increased the rigor of the test. The emphasis changed from "basic skills" to "minimum skills" that students were expected to possess on leaving the K-12 educational system. This was the second standardized test that came to be known as the Texas Educational Assessment of Minimum Skills.
