What Supreme Court case in 1954 declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional?

The case that declared racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional in 1954 is Brown v. Board of Education. This landmark decision was pivotal in the Civil Rights Movement, as it overturned the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, which upheld the idea of "separate but equal." In Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court unanimously found that segregation in public schools created a sense of inferiority among African American children and was inherently unequal, thus violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This ruling not only mandated the desegregation of public schools but also inspired further challenges to racial segregation across various aspects of American life.
