The two 1950s landmark civil rights cases people are most familiar with are Brown v. Board of Education, (1954), which declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional, and Browder v. Gayle, (1956), which declared segregation on buses unconstitutional, and ended the year-long Montgomery Bus Boycott.
Unfortunately, African-Americans did not gain civil rights protection as the result of two cases, but through a long, continuing battle in the courts and legislature.
