Solution

The statement that is NOT TRUE regarding the 1955 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision is: "although there were a few initial problems enforcing the Brown decision, by 1956 the country had settled down and voting rights became the focus of civil rights activists."

This is not true because the enforcement of the Brown decision was met with significant resistance, particularly in the South. This resistance, known as "Massive Resistance," led to a prolonged struggle for the integration of public schools that lasted well beyond 1956. In fact, it wasn't until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965 that the federal government had the necessary tools to enforce school desegregation. Therefore, the focus of civil rights activists did not simply shift to voting rights by 1956.
