Solution
Answer
The answer is ending segregation in public education.
Explanation
Option 1: Creating equal facilities for segregated schools
While the NAACP did work towards improving conditions in segregated schools, their primary focus shifted towards ending segregation altogether rather than just creating equal facilities.
Option 2: Ending segregation in public education
After 1950, the NAACP's focus was on ending segregation in public education. This is most notably exemplified by their involvement in the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which successfully challenged the legality of racial segregation in public schools.
Option 3: Funding African American public schools
The NAACP was not primarily focused on funding schools but rather on legal and civil rights advocacy to ensure equal educational opportunities.
Option 4: Strengthening segregation in public education
This option is contrary to the mission of the NAACP, which aimed to dismantle segregation and promote equality.
