The case was reargued on December 8, 1953, one year after the Supreme Court heard it the first time. At this time the Supreme Court Justice Warren was determined to bring it to a conclusion. Many years and events had gone by to bring the case to the point it was ready to be decisioned by the Supreme Court.
On May 17, 1954 after three long years Supreme Court Justice Warren issued a decision, which received a vote of 9 in favor of Brown. Based on several points he sided against the Board of Education, basically saying that separate but equal had no place in public education, and that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal ( Nation Center for Public Policy Research)
