What was the result of the Brown versus Board of Education Supreme Court decision

The Supreme Court declared that state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white (segregation in public schools) was unconstitutional.

This decision lead to the de - segregation of public schools (white and black / different races could attend together). This positive outcome was also important because it acted as a catalyst for the modern civil rights movement - which inspired education reform everywhere in the USA, also encouraging people to challenge segregation in other areas of society.
