Which Supreme Court ruling was overturned by the decision to desegregate public schools on the basis that “separate… is inherently unequal?”

In Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools violates the Equal Protection Clause, declaring that “separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” This rejected the “separate but equal” doctrine established by Plessy v. Ferguson, so Plessy is the ruling that was overturned.
