Brown Vs Board of Education
On May 17, 1954 the U.S Supreme court Justice delivered a verdict that ruled segregation in public school unconstitutional, because it violated the 14th amendment. This court case took place in Topeka, Kansas which marked the end of the separate but equal precedent set that was placed fifty years prior.

Arguments
Plaintiffs argued that segregated public schools are not equal and could not be made equal, because equal protection laws did not pertain to them. The other argument was that racial segregation was unjust and could be in violation of the fourteenth amendment.

Early Cases
Plessy vs Feurguson established the separate but equal doctrine.

Pearson vs Muerry
