The 1954 Gibbons versus Wright case was tried by the Australian Supreme Court, not the US Supreme Court. The case was a familial dispute, in which Gibbons believed her sisters in law were mentally incompetent, thus rendering the paperwork they had drawn up on a shared parcel of land void. The justices ruled in favor of the sisters in law, declaring that they only needed to be mentally sound enough to understand the contracts they were signing.

Which US Supreme Court case ruled that segregation in public school is unconstitutional?
The US Supreme Court first declared segregation in public education unconstitutional in 1954, in the consolidated cases heard under the caption Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) and its companion case, Bolling v. Sharpe, (1954). These overturned the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896), that allowed "separate but equal" accommodations for African-Americans in most areas of life, including education. In Brown, the Supreme Court determined that "separated but equal" wasn't equal, and unfairly branded African-American students as inferior.Earlier cases not necessarily specific to public education, but to desegregation in general, laid the foundation for the decision in Brown.
