The Civil Rights Movement [1960s] made America into a better country today. The Bailey v. Patterson case contributes to the Civil Rights Movement and when the Civil Rights Movement contributes to America being a better country today. We conclude from the previous sentence that the case, Bailey v. Patterson, contributes to the good America we have today. The Bailey v. Patterson case has many reasons America is the America that exists today.

This case, which concerned racial segregation laws for public facilities such as restrooms, restaurants, and water fountains, made its way all the way to the Supreme Court. As way of background, in 1890 Louisiana passed a law which required blacks and whites to ride in separate train cars. However, in 1892, Homer A. Plessy, who was a black man, boarded a car designated for whites only. He was asked to leave, but refused and was arrested immediately. In the case, Plessy vs Ferguson, Plessy’s position was that his rights were violated under the 13th and 14th amendments of the Constitution, which dictated equal treatment under the law.

U.S. v. Bailey, 44 U.S. 394 (1980) Facts of the Case: On the morning of August 26, 1976 Clifford Bailey and three other prisoners (James T. Cogdell, Ronald C. Cooley, and Ralph Walker) were at the District of Columbia Jail, where they removed a bar from the window and proceeded to use bedsheets that were knotted together in order to escape for one month to three and a half months out of custody (“United States v. Bailey Et Al”, 1980). This led to the violation of statute 18 U. S. C. § 751, which is about escaping the federal jurisdiction of custody from them. The escapees did not immediately turn themselves in, but did say that they did not do so because they were told, indirectly by who they claimed was the FBI, that they would be killed

Board, the government could not support segregation because “Separate but equal” was not in effect. However, the most obvious and rewarding result of the case was the integration in public schools in the entire United States, even though the desegregation was a long process. The world we live in today is by far the opposite it has come a long way, it’s not perfect yet because colored people still get discriminated in one way or another
This was based on the “due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment” in the US Constitution. “The Supreme Court ruling said that Council was ‘ fundamental’ to due process in cases of this seriousness, whether in a state or federal court.” This decision had a major impact on the American system of laws.
