They brought the suit against the Plainfield Board of Education after numerous attempts failed to correct the imbalance in education for African American students in Plainfield.
Anna Booker said the books were outdated, the education was inferior, and the children were feeling neglected by their schools.

The case was decided on June 28, 1965, and changed how the students were placed in schools and how funding was allocated.
It also changed how the boards were chosen.
