Question

In December 1950, poor rural African Americans asked for school buses for their children, but their request was denied. They asked that their children be allowed to attend white schools. What Supreme Court case gave the county a legal basis for denying the right of African Americans to attend white schools?

Answer 1

The Plessy v Ferguson Act gave Americans or more specifically white Americans a legal basis for segregating those of color. This horrible act was later successfully done away with due to the victory of the Brown v Board of Education case
