Question

Which best describes the circumstances that led to Brown v. Board of Education? A state university permitted an African American student to attend but not interact with white students. Orval Faubus sent the Arkansas National Guard to block African American students from attending white schools. An 8-year-old girl had to walk through a dangerous area to attend an African American school each day. Nineteen senators and seventy-seven representatives signed a document called the Southern Manifesto.

Answer 1

really what chapter is it

Answer 2

Option C, an 8-year-old girl had to walk through a dangerous area to attend an African American school each day, is the right answer.

The case Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark in the cases judged by the Supreme Court of the United States. In this case, the Supreme Court announced state legislation placing separate government schools for black and white schoolchildren to be illegal. This decision of the Supreme Court effectively overran the Plessy V. Ferguson verdict of 1896, which authorized the segregation sponsored by the state, insofar as it referred to public education.
