The correct answer is: "The Brown case addresses whether facilities separated by race are permissible by law".

Brown v. Board of Education was a landmark decision enacted by the US Supreme Court in 1954 which declared segregation in public facilities to be unconstitutional and the principle of "separate but equal" that was accepted in  Plessy v. Ferguson was not accepted anymore. In this former case, under the "separate but equal" lemma it was declared that segregation was not discriminatory, and hence did not violate the provision of the equality of rights for all US citizens included in the 14th amendment to the US Constitution, as long as the separate facilities for white and black people were equal in quality. This previous decision was overturn for good in Brown v. Board of Education.

Explanation:

It relates with it since it was about racial segregation. Plessy v Ferguson set up that segregation was something worth being thankful for in light of the fact that the general population were equivalent despite the fact that they were isolated.

Brown v Board of instruction built up that isolation was unlawful and nullified the Plessy v Ferguson precept which implies that the case in the portrayal was additionally an illegal demonstration of segregation.
