Plessy v. Ferguson vs. Brown v. Board of Education Brown vs the board of education- deals with brown's daughter not being able to go to the closest school to where they lived because it was a "white" school. So she'd have to she'd have to travel just to get to class on a daily basis. Brow's argument was they should have the right to go to each school and attacked the law of "separate but equal." Brown's argument was accounted for and became a law, although each school could have as much time as they wanted to become segregated. Which still caused problems.
Civil Rights Goals - the civil rights movement deals with the struggle against racial segregation, taking away separate but equal, with lots of protests and arguments.

Sit-Ins and Other Protests- sit ins were where people (not only blacks) would sit at a cafe, ask for a menu and not get up. people might throw food on them or even hit them but they would stay seated until a cop would come pull them away, then right after another person would come ask for a menu and the process would go on and on and on. Another protest was the "freedom rider" where people would go on a bus down to the deep south and go against the Jim crow law. Which ended with buses being bombed. It was very dangerous to partake in this protest.
