Gregory Robertson Roberts vs. The City of Boston August 6, 2009 Mrs.Alvarez BFA

In 1848-1849, there was a complaint concerning the Roberts vs.The City of Boston court case. Schools were segregated and many believed that this complaint should be handled. The local community members involved blacks and whites. Boston's black community mainly took place during this time. However the U.S. Supreme Court heard this case. The plantiffs involved in this court case were Sarah Roberts and Benjamin F. Roberts. The complaints were Charles Sumner and Pedge Chandler. Blacks were poor and rundown. Roberts wanted his daughter to go to a school closer to home where the schools population was predominantely white.
