A black third grade girl had to walk 1 mile through a railroad yard to get to her segregated school, even though there was a white school only 7 blocks from her home. When her parents tried to enroll her in the closer, white school, the principal refused because of her race. Her parents took their case to the NAACP and requested an end to school segregation, indirectly relating to the landmark Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court case that ruled racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.

2. 1 mile
7 blocks

3. A black child in the third grade had
to get up and walk a mile through a
railroad yard to get to school when
there was a white school closer to
her. Her parents tried to enroll her in
the other school but the principle
wouldn’t allow it. They went to
NAACP and requested that their
would be no segregation in schools.

4. There is no direct relation to text in the case “Brown vs. Board of education” but indirectly
segregation makes these case similar. A black person is forced to go further to school then
white children, and in Tom’s case he has less of an advantage to win the case because he is
black. In both cases the person doesn’t get as good as treatment as other people because
of the color of their skin.
