Question

what was the social impact of the decision in brown v. board of education?
it increased support for segregation by business owners.
it strengthened the growing civil rights movement.
it reduced interest in public protest relating to civil rights issues.
it generated interest in the link between grades and emotions.

Explanation:

The Brown v. Board of Education decision was a landmark in the fight against racial segregation. It overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine. This decision was a significant boost to the civil rights movement as it provided legal momentum and moral support for those advocating for racial equality. It did not increase support for segregation (as that was the status quo being challenged), nor did it reduce interest in civil - rights protests (in fact, it spurred more action). The link between grades and emotions is an unrelated psychological concept.

Answer:

It strengthened the growing civil rights movement.
