Use the information in the passage and your knowledge of social studies to answer the following 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 ....”
— Chief Justice Earl Warren, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka
This quotation illustrates the action of the Supreme Court to —

uphold the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson

overrule the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson

create job training for unemployed African Americans

provide for educational funding for African Americans

“Separate but equal” has no place in public education.

The time has come for all African Americans to enjoy equal rights as American

citizens.

People should not be forced to mix with those of other races in public places,

including schools and universities.

The federal government should actively intervene in states when necessary to

stop racial discrimination.
