D. The Brown decision was the opposite of the Plessy decision and helped end segregation.The Supreme Court's decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954) overturned the earlier decision in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which had established the "separate but equal" doctrine that allowed state-sponsored segregation. The Brown decision declared that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional, thus helping to end segregation.
