The Supreme Court did not play a direct role in legalizing segregation. In fact, the Court issued several significant rulings that challenged and overturned segregation laws. For example, in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the Court declared "separate but equal" segregation in public schools unconstitutional. However, certain Supreme Court decisions, like Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), perpetuated the "separate but equal" doctrine and set the stage for segregation laws. It took many years and additional Supreme Court decisions to dismantle legalized segregation.
