The decision of Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) declared the previous ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause.
Using a Brandeis Brief, in which "social fact" is presented as evidence, it was shown that "Separate but Equal" segregation (the ruling of Plessy) was inherently unequal because of the both the tangible inferiority in such a system and the feeling of inferiority it induced it created.
