    Board of Education of Topeka was a decision of the United States Supreme Court that declared state laws founding divided public schools for black and white students. The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision in 1896 which allowed statesponsored segregation. Warren Court's unanimous decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." As a result, the racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This ruled the way for integration and the civil rights movement. "Civil Rights Movement Timeline." Infoplease. Infoplease, 2000-2012.
