Explanation:

The 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme - Court decision declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. It forced the Southern states to desegregate their schools. While it was a significant step against segregation in public facilities, its most direct impact was on school desegregation. The case was about Linda Brown's right to attend a non - segregated school, but the broader impact was on the school system as a whole. The Southern Manifesto was a response to the Brown decision, not something ended by it directly.

Answer:

It forced the Southern states to desegregate their schools.
