Segregation of which of the following was legally challenged in a Supreme Court case now known simply as Brown?
public education
Which of these court rulings held that separate schools were unequal, and thus a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment?
Brown vs the Board of Education established that school segregation is unconstitutional. The case was heard in 1954 in the United States Supreme Court, overturning the Fergueson case of the 1800's.
What us supreme court decision established segregation was unconstitutional?
If your asking what case caused segregation, the case of Plessy v. Ferguson created the "Separate but Equal" doctrine which gave blacks and whites equal facilities, but they were separate. This case created segregation. Just in case you are asking for what case started desegregation, it started with the case of "Brown v. Board of Education" where it was determined that the Separate but Equal doctrine was unconstitutional and demanded that schools must immediately desegregate schools. PS. The case of "Plessy v. Ferguson" was used as a precedent in the case "Brown v. Board of Education". :)
What was the role of Thurgood Marshall in the Brown case?
He was the attorney for the Browns. He argued that the theory of separate but equal was not right. A person can't be made separate and still be equal.
