The decision in brown v. Board of education addressed the issue of

racial segregation in public schools

Explanation:

In the year 1954, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka proved to be a landmark decision which regarded racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional under the Supreme Court of United States.

The decision on grounds of Equal Protection Clause violation sates that: "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."

It began in 1951, Topeka, where a public school refused admission to the daughter of Oliver Brown because of her Black identity. She then filed a lawsuit against Topeka Board of Education for their segregation policy.

Decision went into the favor of Oliver Brown on account of equality guaranteed by United States and that no class, community, race and religion shall be discriminated. The abolition of slavery proved to be a major sociopolitical change in America after which any discrimination has been completely denounced by the Law. Hence, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka also proved to be an important decision in American history.
