Question

Segregationist mention with a sideways acknowledgment. What can we assume about education in 1952 in the south?

A) Limited access to quality education for minorities
B) Equal educational opportunities for all races
C) Integration of schools in the South
D) Adequate funding for schools in the South

Answer 1

In 1952 in the South, education was characterized by limited access to quality education for minorities due to segregation and inequality.

Step-by-step explanation:

A: Limited access to quality education for minorities

The information provided indicates that despite some benefits for Blacks, such as equalized school terms and establishment of normal schools with public funds, education in the South in 1952 was characterized by segregation and inequality. The system of legal segregation called Jim Crow required the separation of races in all aspects of life, including schools. Facilities for African Americans were often inferior, and the federal government was excluded from Black education. The Supreme Court's ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson further cemented the principle of separate but equal.
