The correct answer is: "schools must desegregate schools must integrate"
Brown v. Board of Educationwas a landmark decision issued by the US Supreme Court in 1954, which declared segregation to be unconstitutional and overturned the decision formerly reached in Plessy v. Ferguson. It was considered a major victory connected to the Civil Rights Movement.
Plessy v. Ferguson was a landarmark decision enacted by the US Supreme Court in 1896 which allowed segregation in public schools, declaring that it did not violate the Equal Protection Clause, guaranteed by the Reconstruction amendments to the US Constitution (14th and 15th), as long as the facilities provided for black and white students were equal in terms of quality. Segregation was not unconstitutional, as long as the "separate but equal" criteria was fulfilled.
In the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case (1954), the Supreme Court determined that “separate but equal” facilities were unequal and thus, a form of discrimination that instilled a sense of inferiority to African Americans children and undermined their self-esteem. Thus, it was a law that violated the right of all citizens to be equally protected under the law, as guaranteed in the 14th Amendment. Under this ruling, the Court clearly told the schools that they must desegregate so all children, regardless of their race, could receive a good-quality education as white children received.
