In his arguments in Brown v. Board of Education, the lawyer for Linda Brown claimed that "separate but equal" public schools were separate but not truly equal.

Explanation:

The ruling Supreme Court in Brown v. The Board of Education of 1954 ended racial segregation in the southern states of the United States.

Until then, segregation was based on the concept of "separate but equal", which implied a different provision of public and private services, according to the racial group to which the person belonged. Thus, African Americans had worse public services conditions compared to white people.

This was the argument used by Linda Brown's attorney, whereby she argued that the educational services provided to African Americans were of lower quality, and therefore not equal to those of white people.
