Answer

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was a landmark 1954 Supreme Court case in which the justices ruled unanimously that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional. Thurgood Marshall argued on behalf of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) that segregation was inherently unequal and that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."
