Briggs v. Elliott, 342 U.S. 350 (1952), on appeal from the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of South Carolina, challenged school segregation in Summerton, South Carolina. It was the first of the five cases combined into Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the famous case in which the U.S. Supreme Court declared racial segregation in public schools to be unconstitutional by violating the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. Following the Brown decision, the district court issued a decree that struck down the school segregation law in South Carolina as unconstitutional and required the state's schools to integrate. Harry and Eliza Briggs, Reverend Joseph A. DeLaine, and Levi Pearson were awarded Congressional Gold Medals posthumously in 2003.

  • Il caso Briggs contro Elliott, del 1952, è un appello della Corte Distrettuale degli Stati Uniti per il distretto orientale della Carolina del Sud che si pose contro la segregazione nelle scuole di Summerton, nella Carolina del Sud. Fu il primo dei cinque casi riuniti nel processo Brown v. Board of Education del 1954, il famoso caso in cui la Corte Suprema degli Stati Uniti dichiarò illegale la segregazione razziale nelle scuole pubbliche, poiché in disaccordo con il quattordicesimo emendamento per la tutela dei diritti e dell'uguaglianza. A seguito della decisione sul caso Brown, la corte distrettuale sentenziò l'incostituzionalità della segregazione nelle scuole e varò leggi in merito per rendere obbligatoria l'integrazione nelle scuole statali.
