Plessy vs Ferguson
“In 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson that racially segregated public facilities were legal, so long as the facilities for blacks and whites were equal. The ruling constitutionally sanctioned laws barring African Americans from sharing the same buses, schools and other public facilities as whites known as “Jim Crow” laws and established the “separate but equal” doctrine that would stand for the next six decades.” (History.com Editors 2020)
