Part A Based on "'Equal Justice Under Law': Thurgood Marshall," what can the reader infer about how segregation affected the self-image of African American children?

Segregation only occurred in the South, so it had little effect on most African American children.

It was damaging because they were wrongly convinced that it was preferable to be white.

It was dangerous because it caused negative feelings toward themselves and others.

Children of different races played together outside of school, which boosted self-image.
Question 2
Part B

What evidence from the text best supports the answer in Part A?

"Anything from a water fountain to a movie theater or public park might have a sign saying 'Whites Only.'"

"The children said the white dolls were 'nice' and 'pretty.' The brown dolls, they said, were 'ugly' and 'dirty.'"

"He showed each child two white dolls and two brown dolls. Then he asked which dolls they liked best."

"The facilities for black Americans, the Court said, simply had to be as good as those for whites—'separate but equal.'"
