Brown v. Board of Education

Question 6 • DRHS American Literature and Composition

What were the Browns and other families asking the Supreme Court to do?

Answer
A
Apply the Thirteenth Amendment to their cases
B
Allow African American children to attend the school of their choice
C
Rule that new schools must be built for African Americans
D
Allow the Brown children to ride a bus to the school they were attending

Explanation

The Browns and other families challenged laws that required Black and white children to attend separate public schools. They asked the Supreme Court to rule that segregation in public education was unconstitutional, so African American children could attend school without being barred because of their race. Choice B, allowing African American children to attend the school of their choice, best captures their request.
