1954

Explanation:

Brown vs. Board of education of Topeka was the case in which supreme court of US ruled that the segregation of children on the basis of race is unconstitutional. The case was a cornerstone of the civil rights movement and led to the model that separate but equal education was not equal as it was a discriminatory practise. Thurgood Marshall served as the attorney for the plaintiffs, he was head of NAACP's Legal Defence and Educational Fund.

The court gave its decision on May 17, 1954 and ruled that segregation in schools violated the right of equal protection of the laws guaranteed by the fourteenth amendment.
