I just learned this! :D
The Plessy v. Ferguson case had laws stating "separate-but-equal".
When it came to schools though, they were rarely equal. Oliver L. Brown (African American) had complained that his daughter's black school was too far away when an all white school was quite close. Brown had won the case and the Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka case changed the law "separate-but-equal". However, white people were very unhappy about school integrations.
The schools were now "equal", but white and black people mostly were separated among each other. (One of my teachers was the first black person to go to and all white school in her town and she said nobody talked to her the whole year.)
