us understand the ins and out of the court case as well as the impact and the roles of
people during the court case. He included very strong statements to empower his facts,
which really helped power our tragedy section to prove that after Brown vs. Board of
This interview helped us find all of the questions that we still needed to ask after
the Regional round. We also used the interview as a strong primary source to back up
all of our information that was not backed up with enough primary sources. This
interview helped us a lot as we corroborated it with other sources in our sections to form
strong, reliable statements. Lastly, we took pieces of the interview and put it into
different parts of the website to show the opinion of a professional on the different

This website was very useful to us because it told us all about the aftermath of
Brown vs. Board of Education. It showed us how Southern states protested and it was
the main source in the tragedy section. It gave us facts, dates, and information
regarding important court cases. This helped the overall build of the tragedy section of
our website. This is also an important source because it is one of the only sources that
includes the topic of the Jim Crow Laws and Plessy v. Ferguson.

also talked about what happened after the Brown v. Board Of Education, Brown V.
Board Of Education II. This website informed us about how African Americans and Civil
Rights Activists continued to work hard even after Brown vs. Board of Education. The
website showed to us that Civil Rights Activists liked the way that the Supreme Court
was constantly changing laws because they thought that the Constitution was a little bit
outdated.

This book helped us understand what African American students were feeling
about the integration when they were kids. It also shows what African American children
went through and how they felt inferior to white people. It proves that discrimination was
a very big thing at that time period, and it analyzes troubled emotions and feelings that

enough to reach headlines everywhere. It also supplied our statement that people were
shocked at the NAACP as before, they thought the NAACP was just a minor irritant. In
addition, the newspaper says that the Supreme Court's ruling with white and African

Americans and whites should be segregated. On the left side of the newspapers,
Governor Herman says that when he takes office, he will never allow African American
and white students to integrate. On the right side of the newspaper, it says that the
Chief Justice Earl Warren and the justices confirmed that segregation is no longer
allowed in schools. This shows the varied opinions that the outcome of Brown vs. Board

a step in the right direction leading to equality, while the Southerners were mad about
the situation and came to hate the NAACP. However, the lawyers for the NAACP were
happy to win the landmark case and were going to continue finding new cases to prove
segregation wrong in. This newspaper was put in our Newspaper section so the reader

is another interpretation for this image— one could say that the white children are
teasing the lone Black child. This picture might be showing us that one of the reasons
why some schools at that time were almost completely segregated is because very few
