Although the Court didn't explicitly state "separate but equal" was a contradiction in terms, the actual quote makes it clear they thought it was:
"We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."
Case Citation:
Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)
