ANSWER: Brown v. Board of Education [accept in either order; accept Oliver Brown, et al. v. Board of Education of Topeka, et al. or Brown 1]
[10h] Description acceptable. Georgia lawmakers guaranteed that “Stone Mountain shall never be altered” in exchange for one of these actions in 2001. A 1956 action of this type was part of Marvin Griffin’s “massive resistance” campaign.
