Plessy v. Ferguson (1896),
Two important cases were decided by the US Supreme Court in 1954: Brown v. Board of Education and the lesser known Bolling v. Sharpe in the District of Columbia. In both cases, segregation by race was found unconstitutional.
"Brown V The Board of education" was the landmark case that stated that schools should be segregated "separate but equal" .
The U.S. Supreme Court ordered schools to gradually racially integrate.
Segregation in US schools ended in 1954, with the ruling of Supreme Court case Brown vs. Board of Education. Even with the court ruling, though, many schools remained voluntarily segregated for many years afterwards.
