''Brown vs. Board of Education'' was the landmark 1954 decision that overturned
the 1896 Plessy vs. Ferguson decision that allowed de jure (legal) segregation.
The U. S. Supreme Court unanimously voted to end segregation,
but segregation continued in the Southern United States until the Civil Rights movement
achieved the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
