Gayle v. Browder (1956) specifically addressed the issue of segregation on public transportation in Montgomery, Alabama, and it effectively overturned the precedent set by Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) by ruling that segregation on public buses was unconstitutional. This case was significant in the civil rights movement and contributed to the dismantling of segregation laws in the United States.
