Correct answer:  D. Court cases challenged the legality of discrimination.

I'll mention key court cases after debunking the other answers in the list.  Truman's desegregation of the armed forces happened already in 1948, and impacted only those in the armed forces, rather than all African Americans.  The suburbs were NOT welcoming toward African Americans, and they remained in living mostly in urban centers.

As to key court cases of the 1950s regarding discrimination:

1950: Sweatt v. Painter and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents.  In these cases, the Supreme Court said segregation of African American students in law and graduate schools was unconstitutional.  This was the start of challenging "separate-but-equal" policies.

1954: Brown v. Board of Education.  Firm decision that "separate but equal" policies were unconstitutional across the education system.  Chief Justice Earl Warren, speaking for the unanimous opinion of the Court, said: “Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.”  

1955: Brown v. Board II.  The Supreme Court directed that school systems must abolish segregation “with all deliberate speed.”

1956: The Supreme Court affirmed a lower court ruling that the segregation of the Montgomery, Alabama, bus system was illegal.  This was in reference to the bus boycott that had begun with the protest by Rosa Parks.

1958: Cooper v. Aaron.  The Supreme Court upheld the US Court of Appeals (8th Circuit) decision that resistance by local officials and threats of violence in the community did not  justify delaying desegregation.  This followed in the wake of the Little Rock Nine (a group of black students) seeking enrollment in LIttle Rock Central High School.

Which of the following describes a major accomplishment of the Inca empire ?
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

C. The Inca developed the first written Language in the Americas

Explanation:

The Inca or Inca Empire was the largest empire in pre-Columbian America. To the territory of the same one it was denominated Tawantinsuyu and to the period of its dominion is known to him, in addition, like incanato and / or incario. It flourished in the Andean region of the subcontinent between the 15th and 16th centuries, as a consequence of the apogee of the Inca civilization. It covered nearly two million square kilometers between the Pacific Ocean and the Amazon rainforest, from the vicinity of Pasto (Colombia) to the north to the Maule River (Chile) to the south.

The contents or mathematical concepts were applied by the Incas, mainly, in the calculation of results and quantities of the Economy. Although important systems of measurement were developed in the Incario, quipus and yupanas are better known, which represent the important mathematical presence in the Inca administration. Quipus were mnemonic systems consisting of knotted strips; only the results of the mathematical operations carried out previously in the abacos or yupana were knotted.

The Spanish chroniclers narrate that the khipu kamayuqkuna read in the knots of the quipus the history of the Incas, relating births, wars, conquests, names of the nobles and times of such events. «They are some memorials or records made of branches, in which different knots and different colors mean different things. It is incredible what they achieved in this way, because how much books can tell of stories, and laws, and ceremonies and business accounts, all that supplies the equipment so punctually, that they admire ». The writing that underlies the quipus has not yet been deciphered. There is currently a study on the possible Inca script, the English William Burns, who considers that it was of an alphanumeric character represented with geometric figures on looms and drawings by the chronicler Felipe Guaman Poma de Ayala that would have originated in the time of the Pachacutec ruler .
