Question

An argument made by Thurgood Marshall that helped shape the Brown v. Board of Education decision was that
separate facilities do not violate the Fourteenth Amendment.
separate facilities are unequal and make African American children feel inferior.
separate facilities, although equal, violate the Fourteenth Amendment.
separate but equal facilities do not make African American children feel inferior.

Answer 1

"separate facilities are unequal and make African American children feel inferior."

Thurgood Marshall argued segregation stamped black children with a sense of inferiority that affected their hearts and minds, supporting the Court's conclusion that "separate" public schools are inherently unequal and violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.
