Respuesta :

Jimmy Carter served in the Georgia Senate from 1963-1967. He would have been MOST likely to have dealt with desegregation as a Georgia Senator:

B) Desegregation

Post the 1954 Brown v Board of Education (Supreme Court case wherein separate public schools for blacks and whites were found to be unconstitutional) case, racial tensions were high. Carter was a proponent of integration and often spoke in favor of the cause.

Answer:

B) Desegregation

Explanation:

In the early-to-mid-1960s, the state- and the entire South- was still going through the process of desegregation. The Atlanta Race Riots took place in 1906, roughly 20 years before Carter was even born.
