I assume you mean the current court case involving what is popularily called Affirmative Action on the College level- in the state University of Texas. This is a rather specialized angle, after all a college is not the same brand of public accomodation ( in the legal sense) as say, a bus terminal. It will be interesting to see how this case works out. There are other issues such as academic merit ( for which we have College entrance exams, for example) but the race issue is clearly on the Court card. It will be interesting to see how the High Court handles this, which is markedly different than segregation, say, in a public accomodation such as a bus terminal, which is of course, illegal.

How were Jim crow laws still legal during civil rights movement?
Jim Crow laws were legal during the Civil Rights Movement because they were enacted by state and local governments, and upheld by the Supreme Court in cases like Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which established the "separate but equal" doctrine. These laws institutionalized racial segregation and discrimination, mainly in the Southern United States, reflecting societal norms and values at the time. It wasn't until landmark legislation like the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and decisions such as Brown v. Board of Education (1954) that these laws began to be challenged and ultimately declared unconstitutional. The struggle for civil rights was essential in raising awareness and pushing for legal changes against these discriminatory practices.
