Answer 1

Brown v Board of Education was a landmark court case in 1954 in which the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. The case was brought by a young African American girl named Linda Brown who was denied admission to a white school in Topeka, Kansas. The decision overturned the previous "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v Ferguson and paved the way for desegregation in schools across the United States.
