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 civil rights movement. It overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine in education. This ruling was a significant victory for the civil rights cause. It gave momentum to the growing civil rights movement as it showed that legal challenges to segregation could be successful. It did not increase support for segregation (as it was against segregation). It also did not reduce interest in public protest (rather, it inspired more activism). And it had no relation to the link between grades and emotions.

Answer:

It strengthened the growing civil rights movement.
