It declared racial segregation of children in public schools unconstitutional, because "Segregation of students in public schools violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, because separate facilities are inherently unequal." The Supreme Court decision nullified segregation policies in school districts across the country, and overturned a previous ruling made by the Supreme Court, in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896), which allowed "separate but equal" facilities.

Chief Justice Warren wrote: "Separate but equal is inherently unequal."
