Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas

Brown v. the Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas

On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court unanimously decided in favour of Brown, stating that the concept of "separate but equal" was impossible to maintain, and that separate facilities were always unequal, and therefore unjust. This decision overturned an earlier ruling of the Court in Plessy v. Ferguson.
