The correct answre is: "Brown v. Board of Education overturned in 1954 the former decision reached in 1896 in Plessy v. Ferguson".

Brown v. Board of Education was a case dicussed by the US Supreme Court, which  led to the enactment of a landmark decision  in 1954.  

The case was about the constitutionality of the "separate but equal" principle that was accepted in a former decision enacted by the US Supreme Court in 1896 in the Plessy v. Ferguson case.

Brown v. Board of Education overturned the abovementioned previous Supreme Court decision and declared segregation unconstitutional, claming that, in practice, it actually deprived black students. The court published a deadline and all public schools nationwide had to abolish such practice and to adopt racial integration.
