Answer

The answer is:

  • Brown v. Board of Education: desegregated schools
  • Civil Rights Act: made discrimination illegal
  • Rosa Parks's action: desegregated buses
Explanation
Brown v. Board of Education

This landmark 1954 Supreme Court case declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. This decision played a crucial role in the desegregation of schools across America.

Civil Rights Act

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a significant piece of legislation that outlawed discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. It ended unequal application of voter registration requirements and racial segregation in schools, at the workplace, and by facilities that served the general public.

Rosa Parks's action

Rosa Parks's refusal to give up her seat to a white man on a Montgomery, Alabama bus in 1955 sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. This boycott led to a Supreme Court ruling that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional, effectively desegregating buses.
