On May 17, 1954, the United States Supreme Court announced its decision that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. The decision effectively denied the legal basis for segregation in the 21 states that still allowed segregated classrooms. This decision forever changed race relations in the United States. Through the use of primary source materials, this book provides the background of race relations in America, differences in amenities for blacks and whites, and information on other court cases that impacted this decision.
