brown v.
Segregation in schools was officially outlawed by the Supreme Court in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision.
The states that outlawed segregation were primarily influenced by landmark legislation and court rulings, notably the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954). While no states officially outlawed segregation in a uniform manner, the federal government enforced desegregation, leading to significant changes in states across the South, such as Alabama, Mississippi, and Arkansas. Over time, all states were required to eliminate legal segregation practices in public facilities, schools, and transportation.
The laws that allowed segregation were called Jim Crow Laws. They were justified under the doctrine of 'separate but equal.'

Public school segregation was unconstitutional.
The Supreme Court outlawed racial segregation in public schools in the landmark case Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. The Court ruled that segregation in public education violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, stating that "separate but equal" educational facilities are inherently unequal. This decision effectively overturned the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, which upheld segregation. Brown v. Board marked a significant milestone in the Civil Rights Movement, paving the way for further challenges to racial discrimination.
Brown vs the Board of Education ended legalized segregation in public schools.
