By separating Caucasian and African-American students into separate schools, the educational system became a two-tier system. The Caucasian schools were staffed with Caucasian teachers, who themselves had received greater access to higher education and more elite opportunities. The African-American schools were staffed primarily with African-American teachers who typically didn't have as much access to the best educational opportunities themselves. This was found to be an unconstitutional fundamental inequality and was struck down in the famous US Supreme Court ruling Brown v Board of Education.
