Answer:
The U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education marked a turning point in the history of race relations in the United States. On May 17, 1954, the Court stripped away constitutional sanctions for segregation by race, and made equal opportunity in education the law of the land.
Explanation:
In 1954, the Supreme Court unanimously strikes down segregation in public schools, sparking the Civil Rights movement. A watershed moment for desegregation, Brown v. Board did not instantly desegregate schools. Board of Education ruling did little on the community level to achieve the goal of desegregation.
