The Supreme Court case that allowed a Black girl to attend school is Brown v. Board of Education (1954). This landmark decision declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, effectively overturning the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which upheld "separate but equal" education. The case arose when Linda Brown, a Black girl, was denied admission to a white school in Topeka, Kansas, leading to a unanimous ruling that segregation violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This pivotal ruling was a significant step in the Civil Rights Movement, promoting desegregation across the United States.
