Question 7 • RMA FL-2100310-United States History Semester 2

Which statement about the ruling in Brown v. Board of Education is true?

Answer
A
It called for the immediate desegregation of public schools.
B
It did not address the question of how or 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 Brown v. Board of Education ruling declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, but it did not specify how or when schools had to desegregate. The Supreme Court addressed implementation in a later decision, Brown II, which called for desegregation to proceed “with all deliberate speed.” So the true statement is that the ruling did not address how or when desegregation should take place.
