Welcome to OurDocuments.gov
In this milestone decision, the Supreme Court ruled that separating
children in public schools on the basis of race was unconstitutional.
It signaled the end of legalized racial segregation in the schools
of the United States, overruling the “separate but equal” principle
set forth in the 1896 Plessy v. Ferguson case.

Census Press Releases
Brown
v. Board of Education: 50th Anniversary. The U.S. Supreme
Court ruled unanimously that segregation of public schools “solely
on the basis of race” denied black children equal educational
opportunity, even though “physical facilities and other ‘tangible’
factors may have been equal.” Thurgood Marshall, later to become
the first black Supreme Court justice, argued the plaintiff’s
case. To commemorate that landmark decision, the Census Bureau
has assembled data on the educational attainment and school
enrollment of blacks — then and now.

National
Archives Teaching With Documents Lesson Plan: Documents Related
to Brown v. Board of Education
The
case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas
declared state-sanctioned segregation of public schools was
a violation of the 14th Amendment and was therefore unconstitutional.
This historic decision marked the end of the "separate
but equal" precedent set by the Supreme Court nearly 60
years earlier and served as a catalyst for the expanding civil
rights movement during the decade of the 1950s.
