Detailed explanation-1: -On June 10, 1963, President John F. Kennedy federalized National Guard troops and deployed them to the University of Alabama to force its desegregation. The next day, Governor Wallace yielded to the federal pressure, and two African American students-Vivian Malone and James A. Hood-successfully enrolled.
Detailed explanation-2: -Opened in 1835, the Abiel Smith School served as a segregated public school for African American students in Boston. In 1787, Black Bostonians, including Prince Hall, petitioned the state legislature advocating for greater access to the public school system.
Detailed explanation-3: -Brown v. Bd. of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954)-this was the seminal case in which the Court declared that states could no longer maintain or establish laws allowing separate schools for black and white students. This was the beginning of the end of state-sponsored segregation.
