1.  Brown v. Board of Education (Brown I), (1954)
 
State laws that establish separate public educational facilities based on race violate the equal protection of the laws clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Separate facilities are inherently unequal even though they may be equal physically.


2. Brown v. Board of Education (Brown II), (1955)
 
Because of varied local school problems relating to desegregation, the federal district courts are delegated the authority to implement the 1954 Brown decision. These courts are to proceed "with all deliberate speed," while balancing the community and personal interests involved.
