In the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the Supreme Court reached its decision by recognizing the inherent bias and inequality present in the doctrine of "separate but equal." The Court concluded that segregation in public schools created a sense of inferiority among African American children, which violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This ruling highlighted the psychological and social harms of segregation, ultimately rejecting the notion that separate educational facilities could ever be truly equal.
