The NAACP's first significant challenge to segregation was the 1917 case of Brown v. Board of Education in Kansas, which aimed to contest the "separate but equal" doctrine established by the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). However, their early efforts were more prominently showcased in the 1930s with the case of Missouri ex rel. Gaines v. Canada, where they successfully argued that the state of Missouri failed to provide equal educational opportunities for Black students. This marked a critical early victory in the fight against segregation, laying the groundwork for future legal challenges.
