Yes, Chief Justice Earl Warren's opinion in Brown v. Board of Education was consistent with Justice Harlan's dissent in Plessy v. Ferguson. Both emphasized the principle that racial segregation inherently perpetuates inequality and undermines the dignity of African Americans. Harlan's dissent argued against the "separate but equal" doctrine, asserting that segregation is a form of racial discrimination. Warren's majority opinion in Brown effectively reinforced this viewpoint by declaring that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal, thus invalidating the foundation of segregation.
