The quote you provided is from the landmark Supreme Court case **Brown v. Board of Education**, decided in 1954. This case was significant because it overturned the precedent set by **Plessy v. Ferguson** in 1896, which upheld the doctrine of "separate but equal."
In Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court unanimously ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, stating that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." This decision was a crucial step in the Civil Rights Movement and helped to dismantle segregation laws across the United States.
The other cases you mentioned, **Scott v. Sanford** (1857) and **Worcester v. Georgia** (1832), relate to different legal principles and contexts. Scott v. Sanford infamously denied citizenship to African American slaves and ruled that Congress had no authority to regulate slavery in the territories, while Worcester v. Georgia established federal authority over Native American affairs.
