Up to 1960, several landmark court decisions significantly advanced civil rights in the United States. The most notable was Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional, overturning the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896). Other important rulings included Sweatt v. Painter (1950), which challenged segregation in professional schools, and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents (1950), which addressed racial discrimination in higher education. These decisions laid the groundwork for further civil rights advancements and fueled the movement's momentum.
