Yes. Once upon a time, it was thought that providing or requiring similar, equal,accommodations or facilities for people of different races would not be discriminatory. "After all, they are equal, right?" This"separate but equal" doctrine was spelled out by the US Supreme Court in the Plessy v. Ferguson case. It was overturned, however, in the 1954 case of Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas. The Court held that separate schools, one for whites only and one for blacks only, were inherently unequal.

Are all of the branches of the US government considered to be separate but equal as stated in the US Constitution?
The Constitution does not refer to the three branches of the US government as "separate but equal"; it talks about the "separation of powers," meaning each branch of government has authority in certain areas that the others do not."Separate but equal" is a term that arose from the US Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896), that said it was constitutional to provide separate public facilities for African-American and white people. This decision lead to decades of racist "Jim Crow" laws across the United States, but particularly in the South. The "separate but equal" doctrine was finally declared unconstitutional in Brown v. Board of Education,(1954), when the Supreme Court overturned the Plessy decision and ordered the end of segregation in public schools.
What us supreme court decision established segregation was unconstitutional?
If your asking what case caused segregation, the case of Plessy v. Ferguson created the "Separate but Equal" doctrine which gave blacks and whites equal facilities, but they were separate. This case created segregation. Just in case you are asking for what case started desegregation, it started with the case of "Brown v. Board of Education" where it was determined that the Separate but Equal doctrine was unconstitutional and demanded that schools must immediately desegregate schools. PS. The case of "Plessy v. Ferguson" was used as a precedent in the case "Brown v. Board of Education". :)
