Why did the Supreme Court decide to overturn Plessy v. Ferguson, as explained in Brown v. Board of Education?

In Brown v. Board of Education, the Court concluded that separating students by race in public schools made the schools inherently unequal, even if their physical facilities seemed comparable. This violated the Equal Protection Clause and rejected the separate-but-equal rule from Plessy v. Ferguson. Therefore, the correct choice is “Separate is inherently unequal.”
