The lawyers in the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education (1954) argued that segregation in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. They sought to convince the Supreme Court that the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) should be overturned, as it perpetuated racial inequality and denied African American students equal educational opportunities. Ultimately, the Court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, declaring segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
