Answer:

a. They cared about educating children.

Step-by-step explanation:

The article "Linda Brown" gives a short summary of what happened with Linda Brown and her schooling. Being an African-American child, she was refused education in the nearby school, leading to the famous 1954 court case "Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka".

After Linda Brown's father filed a lawsuit with the help of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), the court case garnered huge controversy. And the Supreme Court made the decision to allow an integrated education system. The court "decided that providing separate educational experiences for white and African American children was against the law. They believed that children who were treated differently would not achieve as much in school." This decision paved the way for African American children like Linda Brown to get an education wherever they want. This event started a new revolution- that of equality in education.

Thus, the correct answer is option a.
