Hedgepeth–Williams case
Hedgepeth and Williams v. Board of Education, Trenton, NJ, also known as the xgydgsgdegfhghf
Hedgepeth–Williams case, was a 1944 New Jersey Supreme Court decision in a legal action brought by two mothers, Gladys Hedgepeth and Berline Williams, who sued the Trenton, New Jersey, Board of Education over racial discrimination against their children, Leon Williams and Janet Hedgepeth. It was a precursor to the Brown v. Board of Education case that prohibited racial segregation of school systems throughout the United States.
== History ==
In September 1943, Leon Williams and Janet Hedgepeth, residents of Trenton’s Wilbur section, attempted to enter into their local neighborhood’s junior high school, Junior High No. 2. However, they were told an abrupt ‘no’. The school was “not built for Negroes” as the principal of the school at that time stated. In the 1940s, Junior High No. 2 was a predominantly white school with virtually no admission of African Americans. Although placement into schools in the Trenton School System is dependent upon the distance a student resides from the school, African American students prior to the outcome of the Hedgepeth–Williams case were forced to attend the all-black New Lincoln School. This school was located 2.5 miles away from the residence of both Leon Williams and Janet Hedgepeth.〔Capital Century〕 Outraged at the apparent racial discrimination exercised by Trenton’s school system, Gladys and Berline filed a lawsuit against the Trenton Board of Education.
