Question

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

In 1954, in the landmark Brown v. Board of Education case (stemming from the lawsuit by African - American parents against a Kansas school board), the main goal was to end school segregation and advocate for desegregation of public schools. Non - violent resistance was a broader civil rights movement strategy, not the direct reason for this lawsuit. Encouraging segregation was the opposite of their aim. While equal education was part of the goal, the key was desegregating schools to achieve that equality.

Answer:

A. to advocate the desegregation of public schools
