How did the United States change after the Brown v. The Board of Education ruling?

There are about three big ones that come off the top of my head.

  1. It overruled the Plessy v. Ferguson case, which made Jim Crow and Segregation legal with its famous “separate but equal” ruling.
  2. It emboldened the Civil Rights movement, as this major victory gave organizations like the NAACP and CORE a legal platform to combat racism.
  3. It redefined the values of America, replacing Segregation with Integration.
