Brown v. Board of Education- Linda Brown had to walk 21 blocks to the nearest black school because her neighborhood school was only for white students. Her parents sued and the Supreme Court ruled that segregation in schools violated the equal protection clause.
The landmark case that desegregated schools was Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483, a 1954 case in which the Supreme Court Justices unanimously ruled segregation in the public schools was unconstitutional. Chief Justice Earl Warren, in writing the Court opinion, declared "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal" because they violated the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause.
This overturned the 1896 Supreme Court ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson, which held the concept of "separate but equal" was constitutional.

No, just the opposite. Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) validated the practice of segregation and provided a foundation for the expansion of racist Jim Crow laws. Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) overturned Plessy, holding that "separate but equal" is unconstitutional.
