Karli Cook · Answer 1

The correct answer is C - The decision made segregated public schooling unconstitutional.

Brown v. Board of Education overruled a previous court case known as Plessy v. Ferguson. This previous case allowed segregation as long as the educational opportunities remained equal for all races. Later however, it was overruled by Brown v. Board of Education which made segregation in schools fully unconstitutional.
