The call for an end to the dual education system and the assertion that "separate but equal" was not truly equal were famously articulated by Thurgood Marshall, the chief counsel for the NAACP during the landmark case Brown v.

Marshall's advocacy played a crucial role in challenging the legality of segregation in education.
