Brown v. board of education to eliminate (blank) from public schools.

Brown v. Board of Education helped to eliminate segregation from public schools.  

Explanation:

The decision reached in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) had allowed segregation in public school, but the Brown v. Board of Education (1954) overturned that decision by declaring segregation to be unconstitutional. In this case, the Supreme Court determined that segregated facilities were unequal and they were a form of discrimination that instilled a sense of inferiority to African Americans children and undermined their self-esteem. Thus, they violated the right of all citizens to be equally protected under the law, as guaranteed in the 14th Amendment. Under this ruling, the Court ordered American schools to desegregate so all children, regardless of their race, could receive a good-quality education as white children received.
