Yes, Supreme Courts supported Jim Crow laws, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The landmark case Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, effectively legitimizing Jim Crow laws across the Southern United States. This decision reinforced systemic racism and discrimination until it was eventually overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
