The case of Brown v. Board of Education brought out the issue on ‘Separate but equal’. In as much as there would be equal distribution of resources, this does not rule separation but equal to be constitutional. It brings a sense of minority to the blacks who are being segregated, the already existence of racial discrimination against the blacks in the United States resultantly has an adverse effect on relations in the country and with other countries as well (TerBeek 2021). Separation of races is a form of discrimination which is too against the United Nations policy; the United States has been facing constant attack from UN due to such cases of discrimination which are deemed as unconstitutional.
The notion was also ruled as unconstitutional for public schools in America and tye whole education system in general as it created opportunities for integrations and was to be a major victory for the civil movements fighting for human rights. The ruling was also to stand as a future model for many other impact litigation. In areas where racial segregation was deeply entrenched like Deep South in the south of United States, the reaction to Brown by the white people was ‘stubborn and noisy’. The resultant reaction by the political leaders and government was a massive resistance plan which was mainly to de-segregate school systems and have students from both races studying in the same facility. The happenings just like the ruling were confirmed to be unconstitutional following the ruling in the case of Cooper v. Aaron whereby it was ruled that the legislators and state officials had no power whatsoever to nullify its ruling.
