State-sanctioned segregation of public schools was a violation of the 14th amendment and was therefore unconstitutional.
This sentence explains the Court’s central legal reasoning in Brown v. Board of Education: segregation in public schools denied Black children equal protection under the law, which the 14th Amendment guarantees. By declaring this practice unconstitutional, the Court overturned decades of legalized racial separation in education.
If the first woman God ever made was strong enough to turn the world upside down all alone, these women together ought to be able to turn it back , and get it right side up again! And now they is asking to do it, the men better let them.
This line really stood out to me because it captures both empowerment and unity. Sojourner Truth reminds her audience that women’s strength has always been transformative, Eve “turned the world upside down,” and now women collectively have the power to restore justice and balance. I find this message timeless because it speaks not only to women’s resilience but also to the importance of solidarity in achieving equality. Truth’s words challenge the idea that women are passive or fragile; instead, she reframes them as powerful agents of change who can reshape society when they work together.
