Which Supreme Court decisions banned racial segregation in the nation's schools?A) Brown v. Board of Education B) Westberry v. Sanders C) Baker v....

The correct answer is A: Brown vs. Board of
Education. Previously, in 1896, the Court had issued the infamous
Plessy vs. Ferguson decision, which said that separate facilities
did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment so long as those
facilities were "equal."  Hence the famous "separate but equal" doctrine. Schools, and
other public facilities thus had the blessing of the court to remain
segregated.

Brown vs. Board of
Education, a combination of cases which actually began in Williamsburg
County, South Carolina, but combined into the Topeka Kansas case held that separate
schools were inherently unequal and had no place in American society. The decision by
the Court was unanimous. Even so, it took over 35 years for equal education to even
approach reality.
