Please help, thanks :)
Racial segregation in public accommodations was upheld by the Supreme Court as long as the separate accommodations were of "equal welfare". I know it's false but I'm not sure what the term is.
A deep, long term economic downturn is known as a "recession". I put false and replaced it with depression.
"Desegregation" is the term used to describe a system where groups from different racial or ethnic groups use the same public accommodations. I put true.
A "recession" is when an organization spends more money than it takes in. I put false and replaced it with deficit.

thanks Ms. Sue.
You're welcome, Anthony.
You did a great job answering most of the questions correctly. Let me explain the correct terms and concepts to solidify your understanding:
1. Racial segregation in public accommodations was upheld by the Supreme Court as long as the separate accommodations were of "equal welfare". This statement is false. The correct term is "separate but equal," which refers to the legal doctrine that allowed racial segregation as long as the separate facilities provided were deemed equal in quality. However, in the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, the court ruled that separate educational facilities were inherently unequal, effectively ending legal racial segregation in public schools.
2. A deep, long-term economic downturn is known as a "recession". This statement is false. The correct term for such an economic downturn is a "depression." A recession is generally defined as a significant decline in economic activity but is considered less severe and shorter in duration compared to a depression.
3. "Desegregation" is the term used to describe a system where groups from different racial or ethnic groups use the same public accommodations. This statement is true. Desegregation is the process of ending racial segregation, allowing people from different racial or ethnic backgrounds to have equal access to public facilities and services.
4. A "recession" is when an organization spends more money than it takes in. This statement is false. The correct term for this situation is a "deficit." A recession, as mentioned earlier, is an economic downturn characterized by a decline in economic activity, such as decreased production, higher unemployment rates, and reduced consumer spending.
Remember, understanding the concepts behind these terms is crucial, and correctly identifying and using them will help ensure accurate communication and knowledge.
