What was the outcome of the Brown v. Board of Education case?

The outcome of the Brown v. Board of Education case was significant because it overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine that had been established in Plessy v. Ferguson. This landmark 1954 Supreme Court decision declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, as it inherently violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The Court found that segregated educational facilities were inherently unequal and detrimental to African American children, thus mandating the desegregation of public schools across America. This ruling was a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement, leading to greater challenges against segregation and discrimination in various aspects of American life. By establishing that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal, the case set a precedent for future civil rights advancements.
