The landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas addressed the issue of segregation in public schools and resulted in the unanimous decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that separate educational facilities for different races were inherently unequal and violated the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment. This decision overturned the previous precedent of "separate but equal" established in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).
