The 50th Anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education: continued impacts on minority life science education.

The landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, KS, was actually a compilation of civil rights cases that argued for the elimination of the ‘‘separate but equal’’ principle that had shaped the relationship between African Americans and whites since the Plessy v. Ferguson U.S. Supreme Court decision of 1896. Once established as de jure law, it would take another judicial rendering by the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Plessy. In arguing Brown v. Board of Education, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) recognized the Supreme Court’s preference for historical precedent and debated educational reform within the context of Plessy’s violation of the 14th Amendment (passed in 1868), which protected former slaves and their descendants from unconstitutional acts. In winning Brown, the NAACP was successful in reshaping policies regarding public education in the United States.
