Question

Which of these statements was implied by the decision in Brown v. Board of Education?

Answer 1

A Segregation could lead to feelings of inferiority.

Answer 2

The correct answer is Segregation could lead to feelings of inferiority.

The Brown vs. Board of Education case was a Supreme Court case that would change American history forever. In this case, the parent of an African-American girl sues the aforementioned school district so that his daughter can attend the school closer to their home rather than the all black school that is farther away. The only problem was that the school close to their residency was an all white school.

This resulted in the issue going through the local and state courts all the way up to the Supreme Court. In this ruling, the Supreme Court ruled that separate but equal facilities are inherently unequal. At this time, the facilities for all white schools were far superior to the facilities of all black schools. Photographs of both schools helped to prove this argument for the lawyers of Brown.
