Answer 1

Answer:

b. Brown v. Board of Education

Explanation:

This 1954 Supreme Court´s decision was a landmark sentence. It boosted the fight for civil rights. Briefly put, the court ruled that segregated schools for children of different racial groups was a violation of the Constitution. With Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court reverted Plessy v. Ferguson that had ruled that segregated but equal facilities for people of different races was not unconstitutional.
