In the civil rights case of Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the US Supreme Court upheld the policy of racial segregation, supporting the "separate but equal" laws. The lower court ruling on segregated public transportation was upheld 7-1, and the precedent held until overruled in 1954 by a ruling on Brown v. Board of Education.
Under the 1986 ruling, the law establishing "separate but equal" was ruled constitutional, and segregation continued in public accommodations and transportation.
Plessy v. Ferguson was later reversed in the case of Brown v. Board of Education (1954).
It allowed segregation and the "seperate but equal" concept.
