Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) established the "separate but equal" doctrine, legitimizing racial segregation and reinforcing systemic discrimination against African Americans. This ruling provided a legal framework that upheld Jim Crow laws, entrenching racial inequality in public facilities, education, and other aspects of daily life. The decision spurred resistance and activism, ultimately galvanizing the Civil Rights Movement, which sought to dismantle segregation and fight for equal rights. The case and its implications highlighted the urgent need for legal and social change, paving the way for landmark cases like Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
