The doctrine of "separate but equal" was legally challenged and ultimately struck down by the Supreme Court in the landmark case of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. The case held that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, overturning the previous ruling of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 which had upheld the doctrine of "separate but equal."
