Question

How did the Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision overrule the Plessy v. Ferguson case?

Question 1 options:

separate but equal facilities were often located too close together and created zoning problems


separate but equal facilities almost always gave African Americans the better facilities and this was unfair to Whites


separate educational facilities are inherently unequal


separate but equal could be self-determined (voted on) by each state

Answer 1

The correct answer is that: separate educational facilities are inherently unequal

In Brown v. Board, the Supreme Court determined that Plessy v. Ferguson was patently absurd and racist and that segregation was never equal.
