25. Brown Vs. Board

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka was a landmark 1954 Supreme 

Court case in which the justices ruled unanimously that racial segregation 

of children in public schools was unconstitutional. Brown v. Board of 

Education was one of the cornerstones of the civil rights movement, and 

helped establish the precedent that “separate-but-equal” education and 

other services were not, in fact, equal at all.


In the case that would become most famous, a plaintiff named Oliver Brown

in 1951, after his daughter, Linda Brown, was denied entrance to Topeka’s 

all-white elementary schools.
