In the years leading up to Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court had a mixed record on segregation cases. In some instances, it upheld the doctrine of "separate but equal," such as in the 1896 case, Plessy v. Ferguson, which established the "separate but equal" principle. However, there were a few cases, like Sweatt v. Painter (1950) and McLaurin v. Oklahoma State Regents (1950), where the Court began to question the implementation of segregation in higher education. These cases set the stage for the landmark decision in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional.
