Question

25 points for ELA question (please answer both parts)

Part A

Based on "'Equal Justice Under Law': Thurgood Marshall," what can the reader infer about how segregation affected the self-image of African American children?


It was damaging because they were wrongly convinced that it was preferable to be white.

Children of different races played together outside of school, which boosted self-image.

It was dangerous because it caused negative feelings toward themselves and others.

Segregation only occurred in the South, so it had little effect on most African American children.

"Anything from a water fountain to a movie theater or public park might have a sign saying 'Whites Only.'"
