The Supreme Court argued that the segregation of education had a negative effect on those who were black as it made them feel less worthy and could influence low self-esteem among those who were black. The Supreme Court realised other important things such as the fact that America was changing as were the attitudes of some Americans as there was a growth in black middle class, they also realised that for over 60 years the Southern States had failed to provide education that was actually equal, they became aware that the education that they were providing for blacks did not meet the ideals that they were fighting for in the Cold War and lastly the verdict of the supreme court was reached because of a change of leadership in the Supreme Court, the new leader Earl Warren was much more sympathetic towards civil rights than the

This article also says that his own team mates consider him to be honorary black because he is considered one of them from being on the team for so long, it also says it’s a cultural thing that he can’t be honorary black because he has not lived in oppression like the black race has which to me is a discriminatory remark in itself because black people don’t own the market on being oppressed. People of all cultures have been oppressed at some point in history.
In turn, black pupils felt teachers underestimated their ability and picked on them.

Losing the Old School: Integration’s Erosion of the Black Educational Community in North Carolina When the Warren Court handed down Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, educational systems nationwide braced for vast change. Integration’s many complexities became apparent as black students faced widespread hostility from their new, white academic communities. As racial enmity took its toll on black students, teachers, and parents, leadership was lost and communities splintered. These incalculable damages are reflected in the experiences and observations of students and educators in North Carolina, where black education once relied on internal cooperation and support. Though the desegregation of schools in North Carolina granted blacks access to better educational resources and wealthier scholastic opportunities, the resultant dilution and erosion of the black educational community devastated its resolve and essential coherence.

During this era, the residents of Maycomb county and the world in general were still extremely racist towards African Americans. They were considered slaves and not on the same level as normal people. The people who were poorer than the black people (for example: the Erwells) were even respected more. Because of this racism and prejudice, the decision of Atticus’ to defend this man (who would certainly be killed without a lawyer because he is black and the accuser is white) is widely discussed in the town.
This occurs when she accuses Atticus of knowing nothing because he is deemed too old from her perspective. Ageism is also apparent when Scout’s Uncle Jack would not explain what a whore-lady is because he thought she would be too young to understand. Oppression is also evident in different modern societies today. For instance, there is great depression in the Dominican Republic. We were taught
Does justice vary over time, place and society? I believe it does the most in the form of racism. A quote by Muhammad Ali, whether you’re at school or work racism happens anywhere and hating people because of their color is wrong. It’s just plain wrong.
