Segregation in Public Schools

Segregation and the law Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision that ruled States may segregate railroad transportation, public schools, voting rights and drinking fountains The segregation is legal if the accommodations are “separate but equal” Brown v. Board of Education For 58 years, “separate but equal” was the justification for numerous states to segregate everything from entrances to buildings, to water fountains, to all forms of public transportation, and in the case of the Little Rock Nine, public schooling In 1954, the Supreme Court reverses Plessy v. Ferguson’s application of “separate but equal” for public schools For several years, some states in the South refuses to comply with the Court’s ruling and continue to segregate schools

The Little Rock Nine and Central High School Little Rock Nine 9 black students were chosen, based on their perceived ability to handle the discrimination they would face, to be the first to integrate Little Rock’s Central High School On the day of their first attempt, Gov. Faubus called out the National Guard to bar their entrance to the school as large crowds of angry Whites followed and harassed the students Following the Governor’s actions, President Eisenhower orders 1,000 members of the 101 st Airborne Division of the Army to escort the 9 students into the school The purpose of the overwhelming force (1,000 troops to 9 students) was to demonstrate that the Federal government would not allow States disobey Federal Law (the Supremacy Clause in the Constitution) The following year, Gov. Faubus closes the public schools in Arkansas rather than obey the Supreme Court’s ruling
