Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954),[1] is a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court which explicitly outlawed racial segregation of public education facilities (legal establishment of separate government-run schools for blacks and whites), ruling so on the grounds that the doctrine of "separate but equal" public education could never truly provide black Americans with facilities of the same standards available to white Americans.

It obliterated "separate but equal." (Thank God)
There was a time in the not so distant past when, as long as a service or the like was the "same", the purveyor could not be accused of discrimination.
It was brought about primarily with regard to educational opportunities.

The issue was the busing of minorities to improve the racial balance in schools in Topeka Ks. They have built a National Historical Site in Topeka at the school involved.
