Question 1

Which of the following would most contradict Justice Brown’s claim about whether segregation is necessarily a “badge of inferiority”?

	Answer
	The notion that the US Constitution did not originally grant citizenship to African Americans, as in Phillis Wheatley, “On Being Brought from Africa to America” (1773)
	The “equal protection” clause in the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution required social interactions between the races, as in George Wallace, “Segregation Now, Segregation Forever” (1963)
	The notion that “separate but equal” was permissible and therefore constitutional, as in W. E. B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk (1903)
	The notion that “separate but equal” was inherently unequal and therefore unconstitutional, as in Zora Neale Hurston, “The Characteristics of Negro Expression” (1934)
