Question 19 • 11011de2 CONNECTED Fall 2026 NM-US History and Geography S2

Which of the following statements are true of the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education?

Answer
A
It called for the immediate desegregation of public schools.
B
It did not give a deadline for when desegregation should take place.
C
It called on the president of the United States to use federal troops to force integration.

Explanation

The 1954 ruling declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, but it did not set a specific deadline for ending segregation. A later decision instructed school districts to desegregate with “all deliberate speed,” rather than requiring immediate integration or calling on the president to send federal troops. Therefore, the true statement is that the ruling gave no deadline.
