question 7 of 10
what was a result of the plessy v. ferguson decision in the south?
a. the decision led to improved education for african americans.
b. the decision led to segregation in federal buildings.
c. the decision applied to public buildings only.
d. the decision led to discrimination at work and school.

Explanation:

The Plessy v. Ferguson decision established the "separate but equal" doctrine, which in the South led to increased discrimination against African Americans in various aspects like work and school, as "separate" facilities were often unequal. Option A is incorrect as education for African Americans was not improved. Option B is wrong as the decision's impact was broader than federal buildings and segregation was already present in some. Option C is incorrect as the decision's effects extended beyond public buildings. Option D accurately reflects the result of the decision leading to discrimination in work and school due to the legitimization of segregation.

Answer:

D. The decision led to discrimination at work and school.
