Explanation:

The Brown v. Board of Education Supreme - Court ruling declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. This forced the Southern states to desegregate their schools. While it was related to Linda Brown's situation, the broader impact was on school desegregation in the South. The Southern Manifesto was a response to the ruling, not ended by it directly, and the ruling was specifically about schools, not all public facilities.

Answer:

It forced the Southern states to desegregate their schools.
