Answer 2

Do separate schools based on race deprive minority children of rights.

Step-by-step explanation:

Brown vs. Board of Education was supreme court case about the segregation in US public schools. NAACP lawyer Thurgood Marshall argued for desegregation case, it was brought by thirteen African American Families. It was one of the important events during the presidency of Dwight Eisenhower.

In 1954 the Supreme court decided that segregation was illegal, prohibited by constitution and public schools should not be segregated. The courts ruled that separate but equal facilities are unequal and hence violate the equal protection clause of the fourteenth Amendment

Before that the cities in the south had segregated schools for white and black students. This ruling inspired the civil rights movement.
