There were many different perspectives in the room on the points of Brown V. Board and many different feelings were expressed about both sides. There were also many different and unique points of view who argued in both the favor of the Board of Education and Brown.
The case originated in the town of Topeka, Kansas and Oliver Brown was declined enrollment and admission to a school that was close to their house. She was being forced to attend a school that had an entirely black student population.
I would say that one of the biggest arguments not in favor of segregation that I found was the argument made by Josh. This was because he used a very persuasive religious argument using a bible verse where he cited proverb 14:31 which had denounced the unfair treatment towards African Americans and said that this discrimination goes against the Cristian views of unity and togetherness. This was a very persuasive argument in my opinion as it came from a pure and historical text and I found it very informative piece of information from the side representing Brown.
I would also say that another point of view from the Brown side of the argument that was very valid was Grace Ann's point of view with the economic side of the argument in that two of everything is bad. Her argument was also persuasive in that she described that if all people were not offered the same education it would be harmful to both sides because of operating costs and, consolidating resources could provide better utilities and resources for the students.
In conclusion, people from both sides made great points while saying their arguments and I would have to say the arguments were all unique and creative.
