Question

Why were “separate but equal” schools often unfair to African Americans?

They were usually located right next to white schools.

They were in poor condition and did not have proper funding.

They were in competition with all-white schools for better teachers.

Answer 1

"They were in poor condition and did not have proper funding."

Segregated schools for Black students were routinely underfunded and received inferior facilities, materials, and pay for teachers compared with white schools, so "separate" was not actually equal.
