The year 1954 was a turning point in the civil rights movement. The Supreme Court decision in the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case, a combination of lawsuits challenging school segregation in the United States, would finally put an end to "separate but equal." This decision had a monumental ripple effect and positively influenced the African American community going forward. As many southern white people were furious about the Court's ruling to end segregation, reaction in the form of violence and legislation to stall school integration became the new battleground. And the formation of White Citizens' Councils across the South worked to keep Black Americans from gaining the equality they deserved.
This detailed account explains why 1954 was such a critical year in the civil rights movement.
