Answer: D) The action and ruling led to the NAACP arguing that segregated schools were fundamentally unequal, which became the basis for Brown v. Board
Explanation:
Briggs v. Elliott was the first of five cases, jointly named Brown et al. v. Board of Education of Topeka, Shawnee County, KS, et al., that challenged the constitutionality of racially segregated schools, with the help of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP)
The court denied the petition to eliminate school segregation, although they did order the beginning of equalization in schools. This experience worked as an incentive for many other legal actions across the country, also sponsored by the NAACP.
What role did the NAACP play in the early civil rights movement? E. It worked for decades to lay the legal groundwork for desegregation. Hope I helped, and good luck :)
