Answer 1

Brown vs. Board of Education was a important Supreme Court case in 1954 that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. This decision encouraged more people to fight for equal rights, leading to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which aimed to end discrimination and guarantee everyone the same rights, no matter their race.
