Brown vs. Board of Education was a landmark case in the United States. Education was left in the hands of the States as the map below shows. The map makes clear what the states did with education before Brown vs. the Board of Education took place. Those states in Red required segregation. Those in green forbid segregation in the classroom. You might notice how the map works. The south is in red. The north is in green.
Answer: The Brown case addresses whether the quality of education can legally vary from State to State. It states that segregation is a practice that produces unequal education which, by the 14th amendment, is unconstitutional. Segregation means that Blacks go to Black schools, whites go to white schools.
