The Supreme Court ruled that separating children in public schools on the basis of race was unconstitutional. It called for the end of segregation in schools while over ruling the “separate but equal” doctrine. They finally relieved that it violated the 14th amendment; Every person born in the US is a citizen and has the same rights as any other citizen under the law.
