Welcome to 'Supreme Court Cases in our history.' press space bar for next slide after one is finished. the different cases go in random order, and will only go once. BY JAMES O. There were many implicit court cases in American history. Regents of Univ. of Cal v. Bakke, for example. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of race affecting application admission into college. Crazy! Can you imagine a world where you were turned down your life's dream just because of your race? These people were treated unfairly. God created all Men and Women, race, and every other variation of humans to be equal. God created us all in his image, so we should treat each other that way! In the court case Brown V. Board of Education, the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in schools unconstitutional. The supreme court ruled that segregation in public schools was illegal and should not be allowed. Despite this, the University of Alabama still segregated it's school systems. In another Brown V. Board of Education case a year later, the Supreme Court ordered all public schools to desegregate immediately. Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark case in Supreme Court history. In this case, the Supreme Court upheld the laws of 'separate but equal'. The ruling stated that you were allowed to segregate public places, such as toilets or drinking fountains. In Rotary International v. Rotary Club of Duarte, the Supreme court decided that the private club could not discriminate against any gender as the club was for business. This was a big start in receiving equal treatment for all people. In Mendez v. Westminster School District, the Supreme Court upheld the decision of lower courts to say that segregation of Mexicans is unconstitutional. The desegregation of one race can lead to other races, which is why this case is important. Now that you have seen many of the implicit court cases in our nations history, I know you understand the racial injustice in our country.
