Which case reaffirmed desegregation with no fixed timetable, requiring "all deliberate speed"?

• A. Brown v. Board of Education (1954)
• B. Mapp v. Ohio (1961)
• C. Gideon v. Wainwright (1963)
• D. Brown v. Board of Education II (1955)

Answer: (D)

The key idea is how a Supreme Court ruling about desegregation is put into practice and paced. Brown v. Board of Education II clarified how to implement the 1954 decision: desegregation should proceed with “all deliberate speed,” but without a fixed timetable. This gave local districts flexibility to move at a gradual pace while still obligating them to remove segregated systems, and it allowed federal courts to monitor progress. The other cases involve different constitutional protections (like the rights to counsel or to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures) and do not address how or when public schools must desegregate, whereas Brown II specifically handles the enforcement and timing of desegregation.
