The question raised in the Plessy v Ferguson and Brown v Board of Education Supreme Court cases was that of racial segregation. Is it okay, and if so, how should it be done? In Plessy (the earlier case), it was determined that segregation was okay as long as the facilities and education were equal. In Brown (the later case), it was decided that legalized segregation is *inherently* unequal, and it was forbidden.
