Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) reversed the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896), when the Supreme Court declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
Brown v. Board of Education was originally filed against the Board of Education of Topeka (Kansas) in US District for the District of Kansas in 1951. By the time the case was argued before the Supreme Court it had been consolidated with school districts or named administrators in Virginia, South Carolina and Delaware. The Court also heard a companion case, Bolling v. Sharpe, filed against the District of Columbia (federal territory).Brown was a class action suit, meaning the decision applied not only to the named respondents (like defendants), but to all other public school districts in the United States.Case Citation:Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)
