Chief Justice Melville Fuller presided over the US Supreme Court from 1888 until 1910. Fuller was responsible for many of the decisions that dismantled African-Americans' civil rights in the post-Reconstruction era. He is probably best remembered for the Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) case that established the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing Jim Crow laws to flourish throughout the nation. The ruling in Plessy was not overturned until Chief Justice Earl Warren lead the Court in Brown v. Board of Education, (1954).
