In the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, the Supreme Court unanimously declared that separate but equal schooling was not equal.
This decision overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine established in the Plessy v. Ferguson case of 1896. The Court's ruling held that racially segregated public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. Chief Justice Earl Warren wrote in the Court's opinion that segregation inherently produced feelings of inferiority among African American students, thereby denying them equal educational opportunities. This historic decision paved the way for the desegregation of public schools and played a significant role in the civil rights movement, challenging racial segregation in various other areas of American society.
