I think it was Plessy vs Ferguson
I am pretty sure it was brown v.s. board of edication
In 1896 the Supreme Court sanctioned legal separation of the races by its ruling on the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments in order to set legal precedents.
The decision that made segregation legal in the United States was the Supreme Court's ruling in the 1896 case Plessy v. Ferguson. The Court upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, allowing states to maintain laws that enforced racial segregation in public facilities. This ruling effectively legitimized discriminatory practices and laws that persisted for decades until they were challenged and overturned by later civil rights legislation and Supreme Court decisions, notably Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.

Integration in the public schools was primarily attained through legal challenges to segregation laws and policies in the federal court system, culminating with the Supreme Court cases Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) and Brown v. Board of Education II, (1955). Although the Court declared "separate but equal" unconstitutional, many southern school districts resisted desegregation until Congress passed the Civil Rights Act of 1964, giving the federal government a means of enforcing the Supreme Court's decisions.
