    Dwight Eisenhower sending federal troops to escort African American students to their new schools

    Explanation:

    Based on an 1879 law, the board of Education in Topeka, Kansas operated separate elementary schools for white and African-American students in Communities with more than 15,000 residents.

    The Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United states constitution prohibits states from segregation public school students on the basis of race.

    This marked a reversal of the "separate but equal" doctrine from Plessy v, Fergusson that had permitted separate schools for white and coloured children provided that the facilities were equal.

    The answer is option B. Dwight Eisenhower sending federal troops to escort African American students to their new schools was the action that lead to the eventual implementation of Brown vs. Board of Education in the South.

    Explanation:

    The U. S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that racial segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits the states from denying equal protection of the laws to any person within their jurisdictions on may 17, 1954.

    But this decision was not implemented. Over three years later on on September 4, 1957, the Arkansas National Guard was directed by Governor Orval Faubus to block the black students' entry into the high school.

    Then, Eisenhower sent in federal troops to escort the Little Rock Nine into the school ans it drew national attention to the civil rights movement which eventually led to the implementation of Brown vs. Board of Education in the South?
