Chicago prospered as a city in the 19th century because of its excellent location. The railroads were a very important infrastructure, and there was a railroad right there. It enabled for easy transport of goods and products all over the country as the railroad that was passing through was connecting the east and the west of the country.
Chicago is located on the shores of Lake Michigan. Through it, it is connected with the lakes Huron and Superior, which gave the opportunity the city to develop a trade through this large water bodies, as well as to use their resources.
Chief Justice Earl Warren said that all citizens have right to public education and should have equal access to it.
He stated that state laws that established separate schools for African-American and white students denied equal educational opportunities and and established that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal".
