Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark decision in 1954 which declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. This decision triggered a revolution in American race relations and forced Congress to address the issue of civil rights. It was a major victory for the Civil Rights Movement and paved the way for further legal challenges to segregation in other areas of American life. The cases of Miranda v. Arizona, Dred Scott v. Sandford, and Gibbons v. Ogden did not have the same impact on race relations in America.
