Answer 3

The Southern Manifesto was a document signed by 101 Southern members of Congress in 1956 that denounced the Brown v. Board of Education decision and called for resistance to desegregation efforts. It did not advocate for integration, defend segregation, or prohibit blacks from voting. It was primarily a statement of opposition to the dismantling of segregation laws and the push for civil rights for African Americans.
