The decision of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka on May 17, 1954 is perhaps the most famous of all Supreme Court cases, as it started the process ending segregation.

Plessy v. Ferguson
The Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) was that racially segregated public schools were unconstitutional. The Court ruled that "separate but equal" education was inherently unequal and violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

The Fourteenth Amendment dealt with voting rights for blacks by empowering Congress to reduce their representation if they failed to give all males, regardless of race, suffrage.
