Separate But Equal
The film, “Separate But Equal,” follows the true story of the NAACP court challenge of racial school segregation. ... “Separate But Equal” is an excellent movie depicting the tragedy of the time of racial segregation in schools and the steps in which these men from the NAACP took to correct it. ... In amendment fourteen, section one, the equal protection clause states that no state shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. The point to be proven here is that a child cannot be considered to be treated equal as long as the child is kept separate from children of another race. Separate schools cause continuing deprivation and harm to Negro children and should be discontinued. ... The fuel for the fourteenth amendment was the spirit of idealism and a sense of justice; the amendment meant what it said: “equal protection”. ... Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP win the case on the grounds that separate education facilities are inherently unequal and that racial segregation violates the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment because separating children in schools solely on racial grounds causes a feeling of inadequacy as to their standing in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way that may never be undone.
