How does the case, Brown v. Board of Education, tie into civil rights? Explain.

The case of Brown v. Board of Education ties into civil rights because the verdict of the Supreme Court was that segregation of students by race in public schools is unconstitutional. This was a huge step in the Civil Rights movement because it overturned the previous case Plessy v. Ferguson that originally allowed the segregation.

Therefore as a result of Brown v. Board of Education both races would be able to attend the same public schools.
