We conclude that, in the field of public
education, the doctrine of "separate but
equal" has no place. Separate educational
facilities are inherently unequal. Therefore,
we hold that the plaintiffs and others
similarly situated for whom the actions have
been brought are, by reason of the
segregation complained of, deprived of the
equal protection of the laws guaranteed by
the Fourteenth Amendment. This disposition
makes unnecessary any discussion whether
such segregation also violates the Due
'ocess Clause of the Fourteenth
Amendment.
