| COURT CASES ON SEGREGATION IN KANSAS | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| African American parents challenged the inequities of "separate but equal" in first class cities (population over 15,000) and tried to prevent extension of segregation in small towns. | Cases varied in specific issues. These appeals through the courts arose from a belief that enforced segregation prevented children from equal access to Kansas public schools. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
