What was Georgia's Response to School Desegregation?
This 8th grade annotated inquiry asks students to evaluate Georgia's response to the Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. Students will examine the Fourteenth Amendment, Plessy v. Ferguson, the decisions made in both Brown v. Board of Education and Brown II, and the results of the Sibley Commission to build an evidence-based argument.
