Contrast the supreme court decisions in plessy v ferguson (1896) and brown v board of education (1954). (2 points)

The first important case of the Warren Court was Brown v. Board of Education (1954).  This case brought an end to legal segregation in the United States.  Following the 1896 decision of the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson, the court had said that segregation of the races was acceptable as long as facilities for both races were equal.  This concept of “separate but equal” was found to be unconstitutional by the Warren court and the earlier decision was reversed. This landmark decision increased the momentum of the growing civil rights movement.
