Throwback to What Changed American

On Friday in class, I got a chance to go back to one of the most famous court cases, Brown V. Board. And I was on the side of Brown. I was happy to be on this side because I know that I would be on the winning side. Last time, my team was the loser. I am familiar with the court case from high school history classes and a little from FYS. However, I spent a lot of independent study time on this case because it interested me.

I argued opinion mixed with morality, as our team dropped down to four people. However, these two topics mixed nicely. I argued three main topics. The first one was that although services for white and African Americans are the same, whites always had superior programs. I argued that this was unfair to African citizens based on the Delaware case of Gebhert V Belton. This tied more into opinion. Then I argued that having separate services is harmful to the development of african children which tied into morality. This was tested on the Clark's Doll Test, which proved that African American children felt inferior to white children. Finally I argued about how the ruling of "separate but equal" was constantly being attacked in foreign news and ruining America's nationalism.

I mean, if it involves nationalism, I think we know who won that case.
