After the Civil War, although the blacks gained their liberties, there were still lots of problems existing. For instance, the Emancipation Proclamation declared they became freedmen constitutionally, but did they get the same rights and equality as the whites? No, they did not. This problem evolved into “separate but equal”. Everything separated into colored and white in public places, even restrooms, drinking fountain, and schools. Most of the black thought they were threated unequally by those restricting, so the civil rights movement started, especially in education. Children was not only the apple of parents, also flowers of nation. The Blacks also knew knowledge would change their fortunes. They paid more attention to let their offspring to go to school and accept education. In the other hand, they were citizens of the United States, they should own the same rights as the whites, including education. But racial discrimination was hard to change, though they had the same social position. Finally, because of a cause, Brown v. Broad of Education, in Kansas, the Supreme Court of the United States declared segregation was unconstitutional. The cause had positive influence for the blacks, but as considering the blacks’ education, the desegregation were not really successful.
