Question

We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of 'separate but equal' has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal. Therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment."

Which Civil Rights leader is identified with this decision?
A. Thurgood Marshall
B. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
C. Charles Houston
D. Rosa Parks

Answer 1

Thurgood Marshall is the Civil Rights leader identified with the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which ruled that "separate but equal" has no place in public education.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Civil Rights leader identified with the decision to rule that "separate but equal" has no place in public education and that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal is Thurgood Marshall. This decision stems from the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education of 1954. As the lead attorney for the NAACP, Marshall played a crucial role in arguing this case, which successfully overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision and the segregation complained of by African American plaintiffs.
