Answer 1

"An 8-year-old girl had to walk through a dangerous area to attend an African American school each day."

Explanation: Brown v. Board of Education was brought on behalf of African American children (including Linda Brown) who were forced to attend separate, often inferior, schools and sometimes had to travel long or unsafe routes rather than attend nearby white schools.
