Brown v. Board of Education

Black children were not allowed to be in the same school as white children under laws requiring or permitting segregation according to the races. The white and black schools approached equality in terms of buildings, curricula, qualifications, and teacher salaries. This case was decided together with Briggs v. Elliott and Davis v. County School Board of Prince Edward County.
When this case was taken to court, the question that was asked if segregation of children in public schools solely on the basis of race deprive the minority children of the equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the 14th Amendment?
The answer to this question was yes. Even though the schools were on the same level, it was still considered racial segregation and racial segregation in public education has a harmful effect on minority children because they feel as if they are lower in rank. Separate but equal is unequal in the context of public education. So this issue resulted as an racial separation be prohibited.
