- Court case name: Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954).
- Date: Decided May 17, 1954 (arguments heard Dec. 9–11, 1952; reargued Dec. 8–9, 1953).
- Location: United States Supreme Court (Washington, D.C.). The lead plaintiff, Oliver Brown, was from Topeka, Kansas; the decision consolidated several school segregation cases from Kansas, South Carolina, Virginia, and Delaware (with a companion case, Bolling v. Sharpe, addressing Washington, D.C.).
- Context/Significance: The Court, in a unanimous opinion by Chief Justice Earl Warren, held that racial segregation in public schools is inherently unequal and violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The ruling overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine applied in public education (from Plessy v. Ferguson) and launched the legal dismantling of de jure school segregation, becoming a watershed moment of the Civil Rights Movement.
