What is the connection between the plessy v Ferguson case and the brown v board of education case?

Answer 1

Plessy v. Ferguson ruled in 1896 that separate, but "equal" facilities for blacks and whites were constitutional (but they ended up not being "equal" at all). Brown v. Board of Education overturned this ruling, stating that separate but "equal" schools for blacks and whites were unconstitutional.

Answer 2

The Brown vs. Bd. of Ed. decision reversed the Plessy vs. Ferguson decision. Plessy vs. Ferguson established the 'separate but equal' doctrine, but in Brown vs. Bd. of Ed. the supreme court said that separate facilities are inherently unequal.

Answer 3

They directly contradicted each other. Plessy v. Ferguson held that separate but equal facilities were Constitutional; Brown v. Board of Education held that they were not.

Answer 4

They both had to do with racial inequality

Answer 5

the brown decision was the opposite of the piessy decision and helped end segregation

Answer 6

The brown decision contradicted the plessy decision, holding that separate but equal treatment was not really equal

Answer 7

because of the federal court system
