what supreme court decision said that public schools should be integrated UNANSWERABLE what was this case about? It was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that U.S. state laws establishing racial segregation in public schools are unconstitutional, even if the segregated schools are otherwise equal in quality. However, the decision's 14 pages did not spell out any sort of method for ending racial segregation in schools, and the Court's second decision in "Brown II" only ordered states to desegregate "with all deliberate speed".

Brown v. Board of Education [SEP] Reaction and aftermath
Although Americans generally cheered the Court's decision in "Brown", most white Southerners decried it. Many Southern white Americans viewed "Brown v. Board of Education" as "a day of catastrophe—a Black Monday—a day something like Pearl Harbor." In the face of entrenched Southern opposition, progress on integrating American schools moved slowly: In Virginia, Senator Harry F. Byrd organized the Massive Resistance movement that included the closing of schools rather than desegregating them. For several decades after the Brown v. Board decision, African-American teachers, principals, and other school staff who worked in segregated Black schools were fired or laid off as Southerners sought to create a system of integrated schools with White leadership.
