Brown v. Board of Education, 349 U.S. 294 (1955) and 347 U.S. 483 (1954).
The decision resolved a few different cases arising in Kansas, South Carolina, Virginia, and Delaware. In all cases, children were being denied admission to schools based on race, or were being forced into segregated schools based on race.
After an extensive review, the Court determined that education cannot be equal if it is separate, because of logistic and economic factors, and because of diversity concerns. Since the concept of "separate but equal" had already been discarded in other contexts, the Court said that it was inherently an invalid argument when applied to education.
