Question

In December 1950, poor rural African Americans asked for school buses for their children, but their request was denied. They asked that their children be allowed to attend white schools. What Supreme Court case gave the county a legal basis for denying the right of African Americans to attend white schools? The county could deny African Americans the right to attend white schools on the basis of ________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The county could deny African Americans the right to attend white schools on the basis of Jim Crow laws.

Explanation:

These laws were the state and local decrees which imposed that ethnic discrimination is statutory and legitimate as per the “separate but equal doctrine “which is authorized in the Constitution.  

These laws were endorsed by the Supreme Court and from then onward individuals were isolated on the basis of their birth origin and ethnicity. Codes that are obligatory to be followed by the African Americans were strictly adhered to until the civil war in America.  

Discrimination was legitimized in conservatories, eateries and in public conveyances etc.
