In Browder v. Gayle (1956), the U.S. Supreme Court upheld a lower court's ruling that declared the segregation of buses in Montgomery, Alabama, unconstitutional. The Court concluded that such segregation violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This decision effectively ended the Montgomery Bus Boycott and served as a significant milestone in the Civil Rights Movement, affirming the principle that state-mandated racial segregation was illegal.
