Overview
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution guarantees that all men and women of the United States are equal and given such protection under law. The landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education challenged the status quo segregation in public schools, which up to then had loosely interpreted the fourteenth amendment to presume that as long as white and black schools were equal in means and form, they did not have to be integrated. This book explores this case, from the precedent of Plessy v. Ferguson, to the concept of scientific racism used to justify government actions. Also included are the key player in the case, a discussion of racism and race legislation in the United States, and much more. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
