Question

Read the excerpt from the Supreme Court’s ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson. . . . requiring the officer of the passenger train to assign each passenger to the coach or compartment assigned for the race to which he or she belong; and imposing fines or imprisonment upon passengers insisting on going into a coach or compartment other than the one set aide for the race to which he or she belongs. How does the excerpt relate to the premises of Brown v. Board of Education?

Answer 2

The Brown case addresses whether public institutions can legally be divided by race.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brown v. Board of Education was a US Supreme Court decision that declared the separation between black and white students in public schools unconstitutional. While this was definitely the case in Brown, the NAACP (National Association for the Progress of the Black Population), founded on February 12, 1909, had been campaigning against racial segregation in the United States for nearly twenty years.

The Brown v. Board of Education may be related to the paragraph shown in the above question, which reports on passenger separation to the bus or compartment designated for the race to which it belongs, because both cases report on the separation of individuals into groups.
