Question

Why was the Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education a significant milestone in the civil rights movement?

A• it required school curriculum to include information on the civil rights movement.

B• it declared that the principle of “separate but equal” is acceptable.

C• it declared that “separate but equal” schools are fundamentally unequal.

D• it mandated that public schools in the South receive federal aid.

Answer 1

based on the options my guess is C. it declared that "seperate but equal" schools are fundamentally unequal.

brown vs. the school board was to allow all children to attend the same school as equals

Segregation of students in public schools violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, because separate facilities are inherently unequal. District Court of Kansas reversed.
