Crystal: This morning, during breakfast my dad was telling me that blacks are going to join us in school. Is that true?

Teacher: That’s correct, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court, which overturned earlier rulings going back to Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, by declaring that state laws that established separate public schools for black and white students denied black children equal educational opportunities. Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Warren Court's unanimous (9-0) decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." As a result, de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution.

Vince: Does that have anything to do with the woman that didn’t move from the bus?

Teacher: what are you two in the back talking about.
