Civil Rights: Challenges and Changes

Question 1 • AZ-US/AZ History B (SS302)

According to the NAACP and the Supreme Court, why were "separate but equal” schools unfair?

Answer
A
Children in rural areas did not have the same access to education.
B
Children in urban areas went to schools that were in poor condition.
C
The schools were never truly equal and did not have equal facilities.
D
The schools were never truly separate or divided in a clear way.

Explanation

The NAACP argued that segregated schools were unequal in practice, even when officials claimed they were “separate but equal.” Black schools often had fewer resources and worse facilities than white schools. The Supreme Court agreed that segregation made the schools inherently unequal, so the best answer is “The schools were never truly equal and did not have equal facilities.”
