Answer to Question 1

An ideal response will:
1, Identify litigation through the courts as the pathway the NAACP pursed in its efforts to support public school integration through bussing.
2, Explain why the NAACP took the litigation pathway, which is simply that it was the only pathway that appeared open at the time.
3, Describe two other pathways that the NAACP could have pursued, such as changing state laws, changing the federal law, voting existing politicians out of office, etc.
4, Describe obstacles to using each of these pathways. Three such obstacles are described here. States were fully entrenched in Jim Crow laws and were unlikely to change them. Congress was unlikely to enact laws that overturned Jim Crow because of the influence of Southern members of Congress. Voting Southern politicians out of office would have been difficult, because African Americans were seldom allowed to vote.
