Case Citation:

Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)

The US Supreme Court first declared segregation in public education unconstitutional in 1954, in the consolidated cases heard under the caption Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954). This overturned the decision 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.
