The Brown v. Board of Education case overturned segregation in schools, declaring it inherently unequal, leading to the end of the 'separate but equal' doctrine.
The Brown v. Board of Education case in 1954 was a landmark Supreme Court decision that overturned the 'separate but equal' doctrine established by the Plessy decision. The Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, stating that 'separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.'
In the decision, Chief Justice Earl Warren concluded that even if the facilities were equal in funding and structure, the segregation itself was unconstitutional because it led to feelings of inferiority among African American children. This ruling marked a significant step towards ending institutionalized racism in education.
