    The correct answer is D) Court cases challenged the legality of discrimination.

    During the 1950s, African Americans were continually fighting for their right to be treated like every other American citizen. This included challenging the idea that blacks and white should have separate public facilities. One of the biggest legal challenges to this idea was the Brown vs. Board of Education Supreme Court case. Oliver Brown brought a case against the Topeka Board of Education. Brown wanted his children to go to a school that was closer to their house. However, this was an all white school. Brown challenged this idea of "separate but equal" schools. Brown ended up winning this case. This was the beginning of the end for segregated public facilities.
