How did the verdict in Brown v. Board of Education relate to the verdict in Plessy v. Ferguson ?

In Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court upheld the “separate but equal” doctrine, allowing racial segregation. Brown v. Board of Education rejected that principle in public schools, ruling that segregated schools were inherently unequal. This set a new legal precedent on segregation, so the correct choice is “It set a new legal precedent on the issue of segregation.”
