The quote you provided is from the landmark Supreme Court case Brown v. Board of Education (1954). This decision declared that racial segregation in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, effectively overturning the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).
“We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently [by their nature] unequal.”
In which case did the Supreme Court issue the opinion above?
