Question 6 • 670401 American Studies S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

What was the Supreme Court in the Brown case saying to the Court of the Plessy case in 1896?

Answer
A
We agree completely with you.
B
You made the wrong decision.
C
The issue has changed dramatically.
D
“Separate but equal” also applies to schools.

Explanation

In Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the Supreme Court rejected the racial segregation principle upheld in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). The Court ruled that separate public schools are inherently unequal, so it was effectively saying that the earlier Court made the wrong decision. The correct choice is “You made the wrong decision.”
