C
to fund African American public schools
D
to strengthen segregation in public education

Explanation

The NAACP filed Brown v. Board of Education to challenge racial segregation in public schools. The lawsuit argued that separating students by race violated the Constitution, so its goal was to end segregation in public education. Creating equal facilities would have kept schools segregated, rather than challenging segregation itself.
