Booker T. Washington believed that blacks should accommodate to racial prejudice and focus on self-improvement through hard work. The quote mentions the importance of "merit" or hard work in determining the value of a person in society. This therefore supports his idea that blacks should focus on an economic skill and not focus on the separation and prejudice in society.

In Washington's famous "Atlanta Compromise" speech, he outlines his theory of accommodation. He essentially argued that blacks must find their place in society, a place that whites did not want to occupy. In doing this you accept the segregation law by achieving economic success in your area. He believed in vocational studies for blacks to find their economic success. In his speech he refers to the country as a hand and that each group were the fingers. African Americans could successfully work to support the hand while not interfering with other groups.

In 1954, the Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision in the case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. The de
Burka [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

On May 17, 1954, Chief Justice Earl Warren issued the Supreme Court’s unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education, ruling that racial segregation in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. As a result, students of color in the United States would no longer be required by law to attend previously under-resourced Black-only schools. The ruling was a pivotal event in the civil-rights movement in the United States. Changing, hearts and two centuries of entrenched racism would require much more than a degree from the nation's highest court. Brown was met with apathy at first, as well as strong resistance in most southern states.

Monroe Elementary, her all-Black school, was fortunate, and unusual, in having well-kept facilities, well-trained instructors, and sufficient supplies. However, the Brown case's other four lawsuits indicated more widespread issues. The school facilities in Clarendon, South Carolina, were described as decaying wooden shacks in the trial. Crowding forced students to learn on an old school bus and shacks. In Prince Edward County, Virginia, where the high school lacked a cafeteria, gym, nurse's office, or teachers' bathrooms.

The Supreme Court's decision brought public attention to the captivity of African-Americans for the first time since the Reconstruction Era. What's the result? The emergence of a new civil rights movement that will use boycotts, sit-ins, freedom rides, and voter-registration drives to persistently oppose segregation and seek legal equality for Black families. The Brown decision spurred Southern blacks to challenge restrictive and punishing Jim Crow laws, but it also mobilized Southern whites in support of segregation, resulting in the notorious 1957 standoff at a high school in Little Rock, Arkansas. By the mid-1960s, violence against civil-rights activists had intensified, upsetting many in the North and overseas, and assisting in the passage of key civil-rights and voting-rights laws. Finally, in 1964, two parts of the Civil Rights Act provided the federal government for the first time the ability to compel school desegregation: the Justice Department could sue schools that refused to integrate, and the government could withhold money from segregated schools. Within five years of the act's implementation, over a third of Black students in the South were enrolled in integrated schools, and by 1973, that number had risen to nearly 90%.
