Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka removed the concept of "separate but equal" that supported racial segregation. The Supreme Court's decision would change the way states and local governments approached public education. After the decision, schools were no longer allowed to separate students on the basis of race. As a result of the decision, African American children were allowed access to their local public schools and would no longer have to travel across town to segregated schools. This Supreme Court decision helped to give the Civil Rights movement momentum by granting equal access to education for African American students.
