Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was a landmark Supreme Court case decided on May 17, 1954, in which the Court ruled unanimously that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. This decision overturned the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson ruling that had established the "separate but equal" doctrine, which had permitted state-sponsored segregation. The Brown case was significant because it addressed the inherent inequalities in segregated schools, emphasizing that segregation itself was damaging to African American children, affecting their hearts and minds in ways unlikely ever to be undone. This ruling was a crucial step in the Civil Rights Movement, leading to the desegregation of public schools across the United States and serving as a catalyst for further anti-segregation and civil rights advancements
