Brown is the most cited US Supreme Court decision.

Brown v. Board of Education is the landmark 1954 US Supreme Court decision that overturned Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) and held that separate accommodations in schooling for children are inherently not equal.

The Court ruled that where a state undertakes to provide an opportunity for an education in its public schools, such an opportunity is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms.
