Brown vs Board of Education (of Topeka, Kansas). In 1954, the US Supreme Court ruled that even though the schools dedicated to Negro children were just as good as those for Caucasian kids, they were not EQUAL under the the law.
Racial segregation is when two races (examples of races are black, white, Mexican, Asian, etc.) are separated in everything they do. We once had a segregation between whites and blacks in America. They were separated in schools, restrooms, water fountains, parts of a bus (look up Rosa Parks for more info on that), and just about everything in life we do.
Racial segregation, especially in public schools, that happens "by fact" rather than by legal requirement. For example, often the concentration of African-Americans in certain neighborhoods produces neighborhood schools that are predominantly Black, or segregated in fact (de facto), although not by law (de jure). De facto segregation means that there is, in reality, segregation. Consider racial segregation of schools in the U.S. There was a time when some states had legally mandated segregation -- separate schools for Black and White students. This is no longer the case. However, some places still have de facto segregation where certain schools are virtually all White and others are virtually all Black. This could happen because the Blacks of a district live in the same area and use the same local school. And they might live in the same area because it is where they can afford the housing, or because whites in a formerly mixed neighborhood have moved away.
It meant that schools would be more congested, and a lot of things would be harder to get. Because there was no segregation, everything would be jam-packed. Therefore, everything was more cramped with more demand.

Segregation
Racial segregation was legal.
The Supreme Court decision Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) legalized racial segregation in the United States. It meant that African Americans and White Americans could not use the same public places, such as schools, restaurants, and bathrooms.
The important 1954 Supreme Court ruling that banned racial segregation in public schools was Brown v. Board of Education. The Court unanimously held that racial segregation of children in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This landmark decision challenged the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).

Educational facilities were not equal when segregated. Because of segregation, blacks were denied when they applied to high curiculum white schools. Their only option was to go to a lesser challenge, lower curiculum, all black school. This led to blacks leaving their educational goals unmet and forbidden. Segregation in schools caused this inequality.
In 1954, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that racial segregation in public schools is unconstitutional, because such segregation is inconsistent with the 14th Amendment.
