The Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896 entrenched the doctrine of "separate but equal," legitimizing racial segregation in public facilities across the South. This ruling led to widespread discriminatory laws and practices, effectively institutionalizing Jim Crow laws that marginalized African Americans and denied them equal rights.
