Explanation:

To solve this fill - in - the - blank problem, we analyze the context of each sentence and the meaning of the given vocabulary:

First blank:

The sentence is "The Supreme Court’s willingness to ______ Plessy v. Ferguson...". The case of Plessy v. Ferguson established the "separate but equal" doctrine, and later cases like Brown v. Board of Education aimed to reverse it. The word "overturn" means to reverse a decision, so this blank should be filled with "overturn".

Second blank:

The sentence is "Plessy v. Ferguson was essentially a(n) ______ of a mistake." The decision in Plessy v. Ferguson was based on the idea of segregation. The word "segregation" fits here as it was about the separation of races, so this blank is "segregation".

Third blank:

The sentence is "While Brown v. Board of Education applied only to schools, the determination that “separate but equal” was ______ proved to be vital...". The Brown v. Board of Education case held that the "separate but equal" doctrine was against the constitution. The word "unconstitutional" means not in line with the constitution, so this blank is "unconstitutional".

Fourth blank:

The sentence is "...the determination that “separate but equal” was unconstitutional proved to be vital in ______ throughout American society." The goal was to get rid of the "separate but equal" practice. The word "eliminating" means to get rid of, so this blank is "eliminating".

Fifth blank:

The sentence is "Deeply - ingrained ______ attitudes among many Southern whites...". The attitudes of Southern whites towards desegregation were based on racial prejudice. The word "racist" means related to racial prejudice, so this blank is "racist".

Sixth blank:

The sentence is "...many Southern whites proved to be a major obstacle to schools attempting to ______." Schools were trying to admit students without considering race. The word "admission" (in the form of "admit" would be better grammatically, but from the given words "admission" is the relevant one in terms of the process of letting students in) fits here as it is about the process of school admission, so this blank is "admission".

Final Answers for each blank (in order):

1. overturn
2. segregation
3. unconstitutional
4. eliminating
5. racist
6. admission
