It legalized the public segregation of blacks and whites.
The policy stemming from the 1896 Plessy v Ferguson Supreme Court decision was "separate but equal," which allowed for racial segregation as long as equal facilities were provided for both races.

This policy was eventually overturned by the 1954 Brown v Board of Education decision.
