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.
