Elliot (1947) **= This was because of the conditions of segregated school, even though they were supposedly suppose to be equal the conditions of the all blacks school didn't have the same standards and the conditions were much worse.

The population of the all blacks school were so large that students were forced to learn in an area where buildings weren't even built properly which is dangerous.
 * Virginia - Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County (1951) **

Linda Brown a seven year old girl had to walk through a train switching yard in order to catch the bus to go to school instead of being able to go to a local school.
 * Kansas - Brown v. Board of Education (1954) **

This was because African- American students were taken on a field trip however their admittance into the school was denied because it was an all whites school.
 * Washington, DC – Bolling v. Melvin Sharpe (1951) **

This case had arose because children weren't allowed to attend local schools and instead they had to travel further than they really needed to. Not only was the distance a problem but the conditions of these schools had lacked the standards compared to the schools white kids had attended.
 * Delaware- Belton v. Gebhart (Bulah v. Gebhart) (1952) **
