- They ruled that racial segregation laws in public schools were unconstitutional
- The decision partially overruled the Court's 1896 decision Plessy v. Ferguson, which had
held that racial segregation laws did not violate the U.S. Constitution as long as the
facilities for each race were equal in quality, a doctrine that had come to be known as
‘separate but equal’.
- This was based on the Equal Protection Clause in the 14th Amendment.
- The initial ruling didn’t outline any process by which desegregation should occur and only
came later in the Court’s second decision Brown II which only ordered states to
desegregate “with all deliberate speed”.
