00:07

because apparently just saying hey how about we not be racist jerks wasn't

00:14

00:18

00:23

00:25

00:30

....okay so here's question which of the following best

00:32

describes the events that led up to the outcome of the excerpt and here are

00:36

potential answers... okay we'll admit it the phrasing of our question is a bit confusing which

00:43

of the following best describes the events that led up to the outcome of the

00:49

excerpt give you a minute to work it out in your brain okay got it squared [Boy studying at a desk]

00:58

that good equality stuff that Earl Warren was after legislation supporting [Person bangs gavel]

01:03

jim crow policies yeah definitely not what we're looking for because while the

01:08

01:32

who weren't about to join in on the protest no it was ultimately the varied

01:36

strategies on behalf of the civil rights activists that led to the case of brown

01:41

v board of education in addition to challenging laws in court civil rights [Man holding fists up at law in court]

01:46

activists also use nonviolent protest to enact change and hey it worked

01:51

which is a great lesson for everyone at home peaceful protesting can enact

01:56

change so the next time your mom decides to bake that disgusting eggplant [Mum holding baked egg plant and kids appear]
