Explanation

The Supreme Court decided Brown v. Board of Education unanimously. It ruled that segregated public schools denied students equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment, making school segregation unconstitutional. The decision rejected—not extended—the idea of “separate but equal,” and it did not find a violation of the Fifteenth Amendment.
