Answer:
The correct answer is B. Social justice and civil rights advocates hail the Supreme Court decision in the case of Brown v. Board of Education for outlawing the unjust institution of racially-segregated public schools.
Explanation:
Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was a groundbreaking legal judgment on May 17, 1954 in the United States Supreme Court, which established a ban on separate black and white schools in the United States.
The ruling formally abolished the racial divide in American education, but it was yet to take a while before the racial divide was effectively repealed, especially at universities. Nevertheless, the verdict became very important for integration into elementary and college level and paved the way for the black civil rights movement in the United States.
The Supreme Court ruling was unanimous (9-0), led by Earl Warren. It referred to the rights in the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution. The judgment set aside laws or judgments in the states where they allowed racially segregated schools, and the Supreme Court set aside the judgment of Plessy v. Ferguson of 1896.
