Brown V. board of Education of Topeka, Kansas

In 1954, multiple cases were brought up to the Supreme Court in relation to segregation of public schools based on race. The courts ruled that separate but equal facilities had no place. The separate educational facilities fostered sub pa education for African Americans and deprived individuals of equal rights to attend white only public schools. The Court's decision took out public schools' inferiority complex for minorities.
The segregation of African Americans from functional public schools is obviously bad and did not agree with the constitution's intent of equality.
