Halizona sets up a committee to study the effects of past earthquakes on Halfren and the possible

f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Supreme Court's opinion in Brown v. Board of Education? Explain your answer.
f f f f f f f f f f f f
Answer: The U.S. Supreme Court illustrated flexibility of the law in deciding Brown v. Board of
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Education in 1954. The Court in Brown v. Board of Education overturned an 1896 U.S. Supreme
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Court decision, Plessy v. Ferguson, in which the Court had held the separate but equal doctrine to be
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
constitutional. In reversing its 1896 decision, the Court in 1954 found that the separate but equal
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
doctrine violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
Although the decision was controversial in 1954, requiring both court orders and military action to
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
enforce it, the Supreme Court was unanimous in its determination that society had evolved to
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
prohibit separate facilities for schoolchildren of different races.
