•why was the supreme court right to invoke the equal-protection clause in their
ruling on brown v. board of education?
• school segregation was deemed unconstitutional by the supreme court in 1954, but
some states, cities, and towns protested the ruling, fighting to stall or block school
integration. in fact, public schools in america were not fully desegregated until almost
two decades later. does this surprise you? why, or why not? consider what you have
learned about civil rights in america in previous lessons.

The primary intent of the Equal Protection Clause was to require states to provide the same treatment for whites and freed slaves in regard to the class of personhood and citizenship rights enumerated in the Civil Rights Act of 1866.

no because America has a lot of unfinished work to do and we are slow in the processes of doing what is right.
