"Separate but equal" is unequal. What decision established that laws allowing for segregation in public schools were unconstitutional?

The case originated from a school district refusing to enroll a black girl at the school closest to her home, which was all white. The Court's decision found that "separate but equal" was inherently unequal and therefore in violation of the 14th amendment. Brown v. Board of Education paved the way for integration and was a major victory for the Civil Rights Movement.
