"We come then to the question presented: Does segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race, even though the physical facilities and other 'tangible' factors may be equal, deprive the children of the minority group of equal educational opportunities? We believe that it does." — Chief Justice Earl Warren, Brown v. Board of Education, May 17, 1954
The 1963 March on Washington, depicted in the image, demonstrated continuity with Brown by:
- A
Demanding repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments
- B
Calling for a return to the Reconstruction-era Freedmen's Bureau
- Ccheck_circle
Pressing the federal government to translate constitutional equality into enforceable civil-rights law
- D
Endorsing armed resistance to Jim Crow laws
Explanation
The march, like Brown, sought to enforce equal-protection guarantees through federal power, leading to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It did not seek to repeal amendments, restore the Freedmen's Bureau, or endorse armed resistance.
