"Plessy v. Ferguson created the separate but equal doctrine and Brown v. Board ended the separate but equal doctrine in public education." — This is the correct choice.

Plessy (1896) upheld state laws requiring racial segregation, establishing the "separate but equal" standard; Brown (1954) overturned that doctrine for public schools, ruling state‑sponsored school segregation unconstitutional under the Equal Protection Clause.
