The case where the Supreme Court reversed its own prior decision is:
- Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka Kansas
In the case of Brown v. Board of Education, Topeka Kansas, the Supreme Court reversed its previous decision from the case of Plessy v. Ferguson. The ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson established the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing segregation in public facilities. However, in Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, overturning the decision in Plessy v. Ferguson. This landmark case marked a significant shift in the Court's interpretation of the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause, leading to desegregation efforts in schools and other public institutions.
