AThe delivery of the Emancipation Proclamation
BThe Brown v. Board of Education ruling

Verified Answer :

BBrown v. Board of Education.
Racial segregation based upon "separate but equal" were desegregated and deemed unconstitutional in the 1950s.

I believe the answer is: B.The Brown v. Board of Education ruling

In that ruling, the supreme court ruled that separating schools based on skin colour is deemed as unconstitutional because it specifically violates  the 14th amendment, which states that minorities who had been freed from slavery in the past is guaranteed with citizenship rights and equal protection/treatment under the law.
