During the 1950's and 1960's, southern states continued to pass "separate but equal" laws. These laws are referred to as segregation laws because they segregated (or separated) people based on race.\nOn May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court took up the issue of "separate but equal" in public schools in the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. The Court ruled segregation in public schools was inherently unequal. However, segregation remained in private schools. Did you know Thurgood Marshall was a lawyer for the NAACP who argued Brown v. Board of Education? Later, Marshall became the first African-American U.S. Supreme Court Justice.\n\nIn September, 1957, nine African-American students tried to attend the all-white Central High School in Little Rock, Arkansas. The governor sent the Arkansas National Guard to stop the students from entering the school. President Eisenhower stepped in. He sent U.S. soldiers to Arkansas to escort the children to school for the entire school year.\n\nThe Montgomery Bus Boycott was one of the first protests of the Civil Rights Movement. In March, 1955, teenager Claudette Colvin refused to give up her seat to a white passenger, and she was arrested. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks was also arrested for the same reason. Parks was found guilty and required to pay a $14 fine.\n\nJo Ann Robinson, the president of the Women's Political Council, and E. D. Nixon had a plan to boycott the city buses of Montgomery. They distributed 35,000 leaflets asking African-Americans to stop riding the buses. Community leaders and church ministers, including Martin Luther King, Jr., met to discuss the protest.\n\nThe next Monday (December 5), 50,000 African-Americans did not ride the city buses. They decided to continue the boycott until segregation on buses ended. For over a year, African-Americans walked, hitchhiked, rode bicycles, or shared car rides.\n\nOn November 13, 1956, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Alabama's state and local laws requiring segregation on buses were unconstitutional. The boycott ended on December 21, 1956. It had lasted 382 days.

hi, \n\nto get the text of the statutes in question you'll probably have to go to a law library.  however if you are just looking for citations of where these weird laws are enacted, this book might be helpful:\n\nhttp://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0749950366/203-0753525-2215951\n\nhere's an article from the times that tells you some of these details:\nhttp://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-1987507,00.html\n\nnote that at the end of the article it says that many of these weird old laws are repealed in yearly Statute Law Revision Acts.  you might hunt them down, as they are probably just a laundry list of weird old stuff.\n\ngood luck!

The 1950s in the United States of America were marked with a sharp rise in the economy for the first time in almost 30 years and return to the 1920s-type consumer society built on credit and boom-times, as well as the baby boom from returning GIs who went to college under the G.I. Bill and settled in suburban America. Most of the internal conflicts that had developed in earlier decades like women's rights, civil rights, imperialism, and war were relatively suppressed or neglected during this time as a world returning from the brink hoped to see a more consistent way of life as opposed to liberalism and radicalism of the 1930s and 1940s. The effect of suppressing social problems in the 50s would have a significant impact on the rest of the twentieth century.\n\nThe 1950s were also marked with a rapid rise in conflict with the United States and the Soviet Union that would heighten the Cold War to an unprecedented level which would include the Arms Race, Space Race, McCarthyism, and Korean War. Stalin's death in 1953 left an enormous impact in Eastern Europe that forced the Soviet Union to create more liberal policies internally and externally. The rise of Suburbia as well as the growing conflict with the East are the two generally accepted reasons for the conservative domination of this decade.

Try these websites for information about the 1950's:\n\nhttp://kclibrary.nhmccd.edu/decade50.html\n\n1950-1959\nThe end of World War II brought thousands of young servicemen back to America to pick up their lives and start new families in new homes with new jobs. With an energy never before experienced, American industry expanded to meet peacetime needs. Americans began buying goods not available during the war, which created corporate expansion and jobs.  Growth everywhere.  The baby boom was underway...\n\nhttp://home.att.net/~boomers.fifties.teenmag/1950_history.html

The 1980 act was amended in 1996 and 2002.  If you are after any specific information about certain aspects of the act such as home education and access for the disabled, then do an Ask Jeeves search on the act and your key word.

Believe it or not, it is still the 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act. There has been a huge amount of legislation since then but it is all designed in its own way to supplement the 1974 Act by setting out what employers (mainly) need to do to comply with the 1974 Act.

One good feature of our laws is that they can be changed. Even the Constitution can be amended. The "Bill of Rights" which guarantee Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Press etc are the first 10 Amendments to the Constitution.  \n\nAnd there is the Supreme Court decision in "Brown v. Board of Ed" which ruled that "separate is not equal" and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 against discrimination.\n\nThen there have been laws for social programs which help people like Franklin Roosevelt's "New Deal" and the legislation that created the Social Security program.  And there are laws for fair labor standards and establishing the minimum wage. \n\nThere are also anti-trust laws to prevent monopolies although these seem to be mostly ignored these days.\n\nFurthermore, a law can be challenged all the way up to the Supreme Court so if a locality feels their local law is wrong, they can appeal it. \n\nAlthough in our time laws like the Patriot Act are being used against the people, it was not always so.

Not much happened during the war years. There were several changes during the 1950s. I can only tell you what I know from my own experience. I left school aged 15 in 1953.  I was in a selective Central School and to enter I had to pass an 11 plus examination.  Some of my friends did a further examination to go on to either a Technical School to specialise in technical subjects or a Grammar School to specialise in languages and literature. Many of my friends stayed on at school to do the General Certificate of Education that was then being introduced into schools in preparation for a wider opportunity for children to enter higher education.  I expect that you should be able to find more information on the Internet especially on the Department of Education and Science web site.  I do not know the address but if you type in the words in your search engine it should come up with options.
