I just learned this! :D
The Plessy v. Ferguson case had laws stating "separate-but-equal".
When it came to schools though, they were rarely equal. Oliver L. Brown (African American) had complained that his daughter's black school was too far away when an all white school was quite close. Brown had won the case and the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case changed the law "separate-but-equal". However, white people were very unhappy about school integrations.
The schools were now "equal", but white and black people mostly were separated among each other. (One of my teachers was the first black person to go to and all white school in her town and she said nobody talked to her the whole year.)

∙ 11y agoPlessy v. Ferguson upheld the constitutionality of states requiring that the schools be segregated. The doctrine of "separate but equal" was used to justify segregation.
Brown v. Topeka ruled that segregation laws were unconstitutional since separation as instituted by the laws didn't result in equality. The government was ran by Caucasians, and their children only went to the Caucasian schools, so they had no stake in the Black schools. So the Caucasian schools ended up being of a much better quality.
