The correct answer:

Brown v. Board of Education reversed the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson.

Brown v. Board of Education (May 17, 1954)was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that American state laws establishing racial segregation in public schools are unconstitutional, even if the segregated schools are otherwise equal in quality.
