  • Essay / The New Era of Learning: The Effects of Brown v....

    “Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksand of racial injustice and the solid rock of brotherhood. It's time. I have a dream." – Martin Luther King Jr. It was thanks to the Brown v. The Board of Education case that allowed the University of Texas at Austin, along with hundreds of universities, to being seen as diverse. This case opened new doors to racial opportunities that have now become important in our day. What began as a plea for equality would change the world in its own way. not defined as a person but rather as a group that fought for racial equality, would oppose the Board of Education in a duel of words to bring equality among people Tirelessly fighting against racial discrimination, removing. interracial barriers for better education and ending restrictions on children to oppose color, these three ideas imply only one meaning, segregation This case fought against such segregation and upheld the belief that education does not. should not be limited by skin color.

The question is: what will you do in the future? How will you change the world? Only you can decide that. For now, let's give thanks to those who fought for freedom and hope that we can compare their sacrifice in some way. This world is constantly changing, in both good and bad ways. How are you going to change the world?
