Read the excerpt from brown v. board of education.

therefore, we hold that the plaintiffs and others similarly situated for whom the actions have been brought are, by reason of the segregation complained of, deprived of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment.

why does the supreme court conclude that the plaintiffs have been denied their rights?
a) the plaintiffs’ schools have neglected their responsibilities.
b) the fourteenth amendment fails to reference education.
c) segregation is inherently unequal and unfair.
d) the plaintiffs’ children have endured racial stereotyping.

C) Segregation is inherently unequal and unfair.

Explanation:

Segregation is the act of separating people from others based on usually color. Throughout the 50's and early 60's whites were separated from blacks and the blacks were treated unfairly. For example, the whites got to sit anywhere on the bus while blacks had to sit in the back of the bus. They could sit in the middle but if a white person wanted to sit in the middle of the bus, the blacks had to move.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
