In the Brown v. Board of Education case, the Brown family wanted to enroll their daughter in a public school close to their home, but the local board of education refused and told the family that they had to enroll their daughter in a segregated black school. The family then sued the board of education and stated that their segregation policy was unlawful. The court ruled in the family's favor and agreed that racial segregation in school is unconstitutional. So, public education was made equal for all students regardless of their race.
