Is this statement true or false? In 1954, in the case of Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution guarantees equal protection of the law and that segregated schools could never be fully equal.
It ruled segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which prohibits the states from denying equal protection of the laws to any person within their jurisdictions. The decision declared that separate educational facilities for white and African American students were inherently unequal.
