Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) didn't directly challenge the same law Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) addressed (the Louisiana Separate Car Act of 1890, or Act 111), but the "separate but equal" precedent established as a result of the Supreme Court's decision upholding that law.

Brown directly challenged the constitutionality of segregation in public education, which involved more than a single law, but many state statutes and policies.
