One important case that helped to end racial discrimination in the judicial system was Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka in 1954. In this case, the United States Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, overturning the "separate but equal" doctrine established in the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson. This landmark decision marked a significant step towards ending racial discrimination in all areas of society, including the judicial system.
