In 1899, three families from Virginia endured the closing of the only public black high school in their area. They argued that their children should have the right to finish their education in a white school. The Supreme Court violated their "separate but equal" standards made only three years previously. They decided that if there was no public black school in the district then the students would have to do without an education.
I really hope there is no reason for me to defend my argument against this case. It is just simply not fair and the families who were victims of this racism were denied a simple request. This case is not very similar to the Salem Witch trials expect for the fact that injustice is a key player in both.
