In the 1952 case of Briggs v. Elliott, the U.S. District Court ruled in favor of the plaintiffs, who were African American parents seeking equal educational opportunities for their children. The court found that the segregated schools for Black students in Clarendon County, South Carolina, were inferior and ordered the school board to take steps toward desegregation. This case was one of the first to challenge the "separate but equal" doctrine established by Plessy v. Ferguson and later contributed to the landmark Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education.
