that "separate but equal" policies were working
that the policies of segregation were "inherently unequal"

that desegregation would be "inherently unequal"

Answer 1

The ruling in Brown v. Board of Education was that the policies of segregation in public schools were "inherently unequal" and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution. The Court declared that separate educational facilities for black and white students were inherently unequal and that segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race was unconstitutional. The Court ordered that public schools be desegregated with "all deliberate speed." This landmark decision helped to dismantle legal segregation in the United States and was a significant moment in the civil rights movement.
