What piece of legislation allowed many states to practice racial segregation? a. brown v. board of education b. the separate but equal mandate c. the emancipation proclamation d. the civil rights act?

The correct answer is B. the separate but equal mandate

Brown v board of education was about teaching Darwinism, while the emancipation proclamation was about liberating slaves. The civil rights act was about helping people gain their civil rights in the 60s. Separate but equal allowed for segregation because it established that people were allowed to separate races as long as everyone had equal opportunities in their communities.
