Before Civil Rights
Emacipation Proclamation
The Emancipation proclamation was enacted by Abraham Lincoln to make sure that all slaves were freed and this happend after the civil war
This meant that slaves were not property but citizens of he United States but they still weren't treaed with equatlity. It was written in 1863 two years before the law could be enacted because the war did not end until 1865 at the Appatomax Court house. This meant that any man living in the United States was free and anyone born in the United States was free no matter what their race or ehtnicith or color they would be free and not bound to slavery. Although this was the case the Southerners would not welcome the newly free citizens that we're slaves because of hard feelings about the war they're was still hard feelings about it so the African Americans we're not treated equaly an did not have the fair advantages like the whites. The whites had a better education system and everything was now segregated

Brown vs. Board
The Brown vs. Board of education court case was in Topeka Kansas and took place in the years 1952 to 1954. The original trial started because of the unjust education enrollment for the high school in Topeka. Chief of Justice, Earl Warren issued the Supreme Court's unanimous decision in the court case, that racial segregation in public schools violated the 14th Amendment. Ruling that any student had the right to chose within set regulations, which school they attend. The official ruling was "separate but equal", which meant that the segregated schools were still in use but was not law.
The effect on the education after Brown vs Board case is that the ideals of who is allowed to have an education. The case started to end prejudice in the education and eventually lead to the second Brown vs Board case that ended racially segregated schools.
