The Supreme Court did not directly address the issue of de facto segregation in Brown v. Board of Education. The case specifically dealt with the legality of de jure segregation (segregation by law) in public schools. The court found that separate but equal schools were inherently unequal and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. This decision overturned the previous Plessy v.

However, the court did not explicitly declare de facto segregation (segregation resulting from societal factors rather than legal mandates) unconstitutional in this specific case.
