Brown v. Board of Education 347 U.S. 483 (1954) was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students unconstitutional. The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896 which allowed state-sponsored segregation insofar as it applied to public education.
