Browder v. Gayle

Browder v. Gayle was a landmark 1954 U.S. Supreme Court case that challenged racial segregation on Montgomery, Alabama's buses. After years of protests and legal battles, the case ruled that segregating public buses was unconstitutional, violating the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause. This decision effectively ended legal segregation on public transit in Montgomery and was a significant victory in the Civil Rights Movement, helping dismantle broader segregation laws and inspiring further efforts for racial equality across the United States.
