The separate but equal doctrine was the law of the land in the US from the late 19th century until 1954. In the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson the US Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation was legal as long as the separate facilities for each race were equal. This ruling set a constitutional precedent making segregation legal throughout the country. The ruling was not overturned until 1954 when the Supreme Court ruling in Brown v. Board of Education declared that segregating children in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

No. The "Separate but Equal" doctrine legitimized by Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896) was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954), when the Supreme Court declared segregation in education was a violation of the 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause.Most of the Supreme Court cases in 1920 involved mundane issues such as state taxes, public utilities, patent/copyright infringement, liability, Prohibition, and various railroad issues. The few cases that concerned civil rights were deportation and Native American land disputes.
What case declared separate but equal was legal?
The U.S. Supreme Court in the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, declared that "separate but equal" was not a violation of the 14th Amendment.The Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was supposed to guarantee equal protection under the law to all citizens. After Reconstruction, the federal government left it up to the states to decide how they would provide the equal protection - including allowing many of the states to maintain segregation by claiming that they were providing "separate but equal" facilities and opportunities to those of different races. The second Morrill Act (passed in 1890) implicitly accepted "separate but equal" but motivated 17 states that still had segregation laws to establish land-grant colleges specifically for black students - these became the Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). The "separate but equal" doctrine was extended to the public schools in Cumming v. Richmond County Board of Education, 175 U.S. 528 (1899). It wasn't until Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954) that "separate but equal" was finally overturned.
