Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Supreme Court’s ruling in Brown overruled Plessy v. Ferguson by holding that the “separate but equal” doctrine was unconstitutional for American educational facilities and public schools. This decision led to more integration in other areas and was seen as major victory for the Civil Rights Movement.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) that separate accommodations based on race was constitutional. 58 years later in Brown v. The Board of Education of Topeka (1954) the court ruled that separate accommodations based on race were inherently unequal and so unconstitutional.
