Explanation

The Supreme Court decided Brown v. Board of Education unanimously in 1954. It ruled that racial segregation in public schools deprived students of equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment and was unconstitutional. The decision rejected, rather than extended, the idea of “separate but equal”; it did not rule that the Fifteenth Amendment had been violated.
