Brown sued the Board of Education because his duaghter had to ride a bus for 21 blocks just to get to a all- black Monroe school. This changed life because now any body of any race can be free to go to any school as they please. :D

This made it so that it was illegal to separate the different races. This made a huge difference in our country because it changed education so that all the students could go to the same school and get the same education.
