How did Brown v. Board of Education overturn Plessy v. Ferguson?

Question

A.
The Court ruled that the Plessy ruling applied only to private schools.

B.
The Court ruled that separate white and black school systems were inherently unequal.

C.
The Court ruled that separate but equal school systems could continue if the states voted for it.

D.
The Court ruled that segregation could continue if there were an equal number of black and white schools.

This question confuses me, my lesson doesn't help. Im saying B thru process of elimination but...

Answer 1

Your lesson I am fairly certain did answer it. Plessy said separate schools were ok, as long as they were equal. Brown decision was that “separate but equal” was a myth, and in fact, separate was not equal, ever.

Answer 2

OK, how about D?
