Step-by-step explanation:

Justice Brown's message in this excerpt is about the legal case of Brown v. Board of Education on Segregation/Separation of black kids from white kids in US schools.

A black girl called Linda Brown had her entrance denied to a school of white kids and her father appealed to the Court, they ruled a “separate but equal” doctrine, which admitted that laws could allow the separation of black and white people in facilities and places, as long as the places were equal. In this view the separating laws did not create inequality and neither violate the constitution.

Years later the case had a huge impact and helped ending legal segregation in the United States.
