The political strategy used to eliminate discrepancies between Black Americans and American ideals through the Brown v. Board of Education case was primarily that interest groups litigated unfair laws in the Supreme Court. This was a strategic approach taken by civil rights organizations, such as the NAACP, to challenge segregation and discrimination through legal means. By bringing this case to the highest court in the United States, they aimed to change the legal landscape regarding racial equality in public education and assert the violation of the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law.
Read the following excerpt from Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka:
“We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. Therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment . . . ..”
