Question

Write a well-organized, text-dependent response. Be sure to save time to edit and review your work for complete sentences, spelling, punctuation, and appropriate language.

Answer 1

Racial segregation persecuted African American citizens for a long time, reaching even children, who were prevented from attending schools that had white students.

This type of segregation prevented African-American children from having access to quality education, as schools for African-Americans did not have the same investment and the same quality, which meant that black students had an inefficient education and promoted more cases of racism.

It was against these situations that the African-American population began to seek for disintegration, in search of better teaching qualities and in search of the suppression of racism. This is what "Brown v. Board of Education" and "Black Educators and the United States Supreme Court decision of May 17, 1954" address, however, "Brown v. Board of Education" presents a more legal text , showing how segregation was considered unconstitutional, while "Black Educators and the decision of the United States Supreme Court of May 17, 1954" presents the effects of this law on society and how it also changed the lives of black teachers.

It is not possible to point out which text is most important, since both are equally important for understanding the process of desegration. However, "Brown v. Board of Education" provides better support information, allowing the reader to understand the situation legally.
