They didn't ! It remained the law of the land, and in some ways, it was the basis of a lot of Civil Rights legislation since then.

The Supreme Court did not overturn Brown v. Board of Education ; it upheld the decision, declaring that segregated schools were unconstitutional. The ruling, delivered on May 17, 1954, emphasized that segregation created a sense of inferiority in African American children. This case has since served as a foundation for ongoing civil rights efforts.
