Brown v. Board of Education is considered a two-part case because it encompasses multiple cases consolidated under one appeal to challenge the constitutionality of racial segregation in public schools. The lead case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas, was joined by several others from different states, all addressing the same issue of segregated schooling. The Supreme Court's decision in 1954 ultimately ruled that "separate but equal" educational facilities are inherently unequal, effectively overturning the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson. This landmark ruling was pivotal in the Civil Rights Movement, leading to the desegregation of schools across the United States.

Basically it was giving segregation a further thumbs up. Brown vs. Board of Education overturned that and stated that the concept of "separate but equal" was unconstitutional. It was a dignified choice as well seeing as the separate part was on spot but the equal was lacking. This case was a landmark case for intergration and Little Rock Nine and was very beneficial towards the Civil Rights Movement.

Did the Supreme Court decision in Brown vs Board of education affect the whole state of Kansas or the US?
Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954)Together, the consolidated cases of Brown v. Board of Education and its companion case Bolling v. Sharpe,ended de jure (legal) segregation in public schools for the entire United States when the US Supreme Court declared separating schoolchildren by race was unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment Due Process Clause.Unfortunately, the practice of segregation endured in many parts of the country for years after the Court issued its decision. This occurred in part because the Court had set no firm time frame for integration in the follow-up case, Brown v. Board of Education II, (1955); because the federal government didn't make much effort to enforce integration until Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964; and because some school districts attempted to evade the ruling by redrawing district boundaries, issuing vouchers for white children to attend all-white private schools, and other methods.The United States still has problems with de factosegregation (caused by circumstances, not law), primarily in certain urban areas where the population is predominantly poor and African-American.For more information, see Related Questions, below.
