Answer:
2) “Separate but unequal” schools are unconstitutional.
Explanation:
This is a statement from the outcome of the historical <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em> lawsuit, which basically stated that "separate but equal" schools and facilities are unconstitutional.
From the passage, we can extract the words "the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place...Therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs . . . are . . . deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment".
Essentially, this is saying that "separate but equal" is not actually equal, which means that the people (Brown) who sued the education district (Board of Education) were not awarded their full rights granted by the 14th Amendment - and that is unconstitutional.
Answer:
White women born in 1900 were expected to live until age 49 and of those women born in that decade, 12 percent would live to be age 65 and 4 percent to age 85. For African American women born in 1900, life was short. Their life expectancy was only 34 years and only 11 of those women would make it to age 65 and five percent would turn 85.
