The Sixties was a time of change in America, and the American public began to have more liberal views. When Earl Warren became Chief Justice of Supreme Court it made the most dramatic changes and held a far more liberal view than any other Supreme Court before. Some of its most profound rulings were on African-American civil liberties.

Then the Warren Court set out the guidelines for eliminating segregation in the schools by issuing the Brown II Doctrine, which left the enforcement of their decisions upon the state.
