In the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, Plessy's legal team argued that Louisiana's Separate Car Act, which required racial segregation on trains, violated the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Amendments of the U.S. Constitution. They contended that the law denied Plessy equal protection under the law, as guaranteed by the Fourteenth Amendment. However, the Supreme Court rejected this argument and upheld the constitutionality of "separate but equal" racial segregation.
The Supreme Court rejected Homer Plessy's argument that the Louisiana law stigmatized blacks as inferior, so they believed the law in no way violated the Fourteenth Amendment.

The legal standard of "separate but equal" established in Plessy v Ferguson was not overturned for approximately 58 years. It was finally overturned in the landmark case of Brown v Board of Education in 1954, when the Supreme Court declared that segregated public schools were inherently unequal and violated the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of equal protection under the law.
