Which argument was made by Thurgood Marshall, when he represented the plaintiffs in brown versus Board of Education of Topeka
1 answer
Thurgood Marshall argued that the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson was inherently unequal and violated the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law. He maintained that segregated schools perpetuated a sense of inferiority among African American children and placed them at a disadvantage in society.
