Answer 1

EXPLANATION:

Brown vs Board of Education of Topeka, was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court. The court ruled in the favor of the Browns.

The Browns filed a case against the Topeka board of education, when their daughter who was black, was refused enrollment in the school.

When the Browns appealed in the supreme court, the Court ruled that the U. S state laws establishing racial segregation in public school are unconstitutional.

Georgia governor introduced a massive resistance package of legislation to resist the integration.

The group in Georgia recommended that school desegregation in Georgia be left to local districts.
