• The Brown v Board ruled that segregation in schools was unconstitutional and went against the 14th amendment

• Brown v Board shows how unfair segregation was education wise; colored people had underfunded schools compared to the whites (less teacher experience, less materials, overcrowding, etc.)

• Brown v Board was the first contribution to desegregation in the civil rights movement; it gave people the idea to protest more and led to the end of the Jim Crow laws

• The Brown v Board cases helped remove segregation gradually and give everyone the same education levels they deserved.

- The history of racial segregation in classrooms in the US is a reflection of the systematic racial inequity that still exists in this country. Racial segregation in schools was the rule of the day until the 1950s. Many schools are still highly segregated more than 60 years after the Supreme Court declared that statute unconstitutional, and there are still large racial budget gaps.

- Integration programs provided meaningful educational opportunities to generations of Americans by helping to address funding disparities that exist between schools that are predominantly white and those that are predominantly non-white, despite opposition to busing and other efforts aimed at desegregating schools.

- But integration proponents persisted, creating policies and measures to deal with the problem. Busing is a contentious method for removing racial segregation from classrooms. By busing children of color to white schools and white students to schools with a majority of students of color, these initiatives aimed to eliminate opportunity and achievement inequalities and increase diversity in the classroom.

However, many white parents opposed the initiatives because they thought they would lose access to the schools with better resources. Black families bore a disproportionate share of the burden in busing and other integration initiatives since many transferred their families to suburbs or their children to private schools (a phenomenon known as "white flight"). Busing programs were criticized by some Black families and political figures as being overly disruptive and failing to address root causes including housing market disparities.
