Problem is you wanted to say the famous five was about the vote, when it had nothing to do with the vote. You also claimed Canada didn't have slavery, but it did.
Now you want to talk about segregation, an claim it was based upon votes by government and enforced by courts. You seem to be jumping all over the place. If you understood the Brown case, you would understand that it had more to do with the public accepting it then it did with the courts or government forcing it.
If you spoke about later issues such as Wallace's Alabama, or Arkansas, then I would agree that it was the government and courts that forced the issue to end segregation.
It was the NAACP that brought out the Brown case, and they did this in that particular state because they did not expect to have much opposition, and they were pretty much guaranteed to win, which would give them precedence in other jurisdictions where the people was not interested in desegregation.
