Answer 2

Yes, you are correct. The chief concern with respect to schooling during the Civil Rights movement in the 1960s was B) access to and equity in public education. African American students faced discrimination and segregation, particularly in the southern states, where schools were often separate and unequal. The movement sought to secure equal educational opportunities for all students regardless of their race, challenging the notion of separate but equal education. This led to landmark legal cases, such as Brown v. Board of Education, which ultimately resulted in the desegregation of schools.
