Chief Justice Melville Fuller presided over the US Supreme Court from 1888 until 1910. Fuller was responsible for many of the decisions that dismantled African-Americans' budding civil rights in the post-Reconstruction era. He is probably best remembered for the Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) case that established the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing Jim Crow laws to flourish throughout the nation. The ruling in Plessywas not overturned until Chief Justice Earl Warren lead the Court in Brown v. Board of Education, (1954).

Plessy v. Ferguson (1896),
Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896)Plessy v. Ferguson was a US Supreme Court case, not a person. Homer Plessy, the petitioner and John Ferguson, the nominal respondent, were both male, but that fact is completely irrelevant to the case.
Ferguson refers to John H. Ferguson, who was the judge presiding over the case Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. He was the judge in the Louisiana State Supreme Court. The case ultimately led to the Supreme Court decision that upheld racial segregation and the "separate but equal" doctrine.

Plessy v. Ferguson
Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark court case in 1896 where the U.S. Supreme Court upheld racial segregation in public facilities, establishing the "separate but equal" doctrine. The case involved Homer Plessy, an African American man who was arrested for sitting in a "whites-only" train car. The decision in Plessy v. Ferguson had significant consequences, as it perpetuated racial segregation and discrimination for decades until it was eventually overturned by the Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
