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 declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. This was a significant victory for the civil rights movement. It gave momentum to the movement as it challenged the "separate but equal" doctrine which was a cornerstone of racial segregation. It did not increase support for segregation (so the first option is wrong). It actually inspired more public protests and actions related to civil rights (so the third option is wrong). And it had nothing to do with the link between grades and emotions (so the fourth option is wrong).

Answer:

It strengthened the growing civil rights movement.
