Yes, this is true. In brown vs board of education of Topeka, the case got a legal victory due to the fact that it wasn't separate but equal, as the girl had to walk 20 blocks - a few miles - to get to her school, as she attends a black school. white people were able to get to schools near them, which is totally unfair. so the supreme court said 'separate but equal' is unconstitutional.
The U.S changed since the ending of slavery. Slavery was a horror in American History and something that we African Americans take seriously but it also applies to many black and white Americans as well.
Since the ending of the Civil War from 1861 to 1865 which lasted 4 years, black Americans were protected with the 14th amendment but were not equally given equal rights. This was a main issue for blacks and whites and Congress men at that time because they did not know what to do in order for everyone to agree on one specific thing. The Declaration of independence that said "All men are equal" wad a big main topic for Congress leaders and for black people because the founding fathers did not include blacks people in it.
Going down to history the Jim Crow laws and segregation was a big nightmare for black people. Jim Crow law was a law that separated blacks and whites still given "equality" to both sides but not really, because it meant that blacks and whites could not go to public places together and were divided which lead to segregation which impacted many blacks people such as MLK, Rosa Parks, Malcolm X and many to fight for freedom, equality, and justice for all.
Segregation ended finally and black people were happy but whites were not. Many riots where happening in the South and some in the North but that did not stop African Americans from doing more changes that would change American History for ever.
So that is how U.S changed.

Socrates’ analysis of the hatred he has incurred is one part of a larger theme that he dwells on throughout his speech. Athens is a democracy, a city in which the many are the dominant power in politics, and it can therefore be expected to have all the vices of the many. Because most people hate to be tested in argument, they will always take action of some sort against those who provoke them with questions. But that is not the only accusation Socrates brings forward against his city and its politics. He tells his democratic audience that he was right to have withdrawn from political life, because a good person who fights forjustice in a democracy will be killed. In his cross-examination of Meletus, he insists that only a few people can acquire the knowledge necessary for improving the young of any species, and that the many will inevitably do a poor job. He criticizes the Assembly for its illegal actions and the Athenian courts for the ease with which matters of justice are distorted by emotional pleading. Socrates implies that the very nature of democracy makes it a corrupt political system. Bitter experience has taught him that most people rest content with a superficial understanding of the most urgent human questions. When they are given great power, their shallowness inevitably leads to injustice.

The Cold War had a tremendous impact on the everyday lives of Americans. For example, students in public schools during the 1950's often had to practice "Duck and Cover" drills. These drills forced students to cover their head with their hands and to hide underneath desks. One of the reasons students practiced these drills was in case nuclear warfare between the United States and Soviet Union took place.
In the aforementioned scenario, students would be ducking and covering to protect themselves from the effects of a nuclear attack. This type of drill showed the Americans were constantly in fear of what might happen next between the US and the Soviet Union.
