The US Supreme Court heard Worcester v. Georgia in 1832.
In Worcester, the US Supreme Court decided the states (in this case, Georgia) had no right to redraw the boundaries of Native American territories, or to require white people to purchase a license to live on the land. As a result, the lower court decision convicting eleven missionaries of violating state law by refusing to purchase a permit to live on Cherokee land was reversed.
The seven-member Supreme Court, lead by Chief Justice John Marshall, voted 6-1 on March 3, 1832, to overturn the missionaries' convictions.

What if a state declares a law unconstitutional and void?
If a state court declares a state law unconstitutional, the state will probably appeal the case to the state supreme court. If a state court declares a federal law unconstitutional, the losing party in the case will appeal the decision in the federal courts. The case could ultimately be heard by the US Supreme Court; however, if a lower court reverses the state court's decision and either the appropriate US Court of Appeals Circuit Court or US Supreme Court decline to consider the case, the decision of the lower federal court would be final. The US Supreme Court is the ultimate arbiter of constitutionality.

What US Supreme Court case led to the desegregation of public schools?
The US Supreme Court first declared segregation in public education unconstitutional in 1954, in the consolidated cases heard under the name Brown v. Board of Education, (1954). The decision overturned an earlier Supreme Court ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) that allowed "separate but equal" accommodations for African-Americans in most areas of life, including education.In Brown, the Supreme Court determined that "separated but equal" wasn't equal, and unfairly branded African-American students as inferior. Although this case denounced segregation as unconstitutional, the court order to desegregate public schools "with all deliberate speed" was issued as a result of Brown v. Board of Education II, (1955), a year later.
