Answer 1

Answer:

School systems refused to honor the ruling and continued to operate separate but equal schools until 1977.

Explanation:

The case Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark decision of the Supreme Court, in which the court established that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, even when schools are equal in quality. The decision was very controversial in the South, where segregation was deeply entrenched. Many people resisted the change, and school systems refused to honor the ruling and continued operating separate schools until 1977.
