1896 Supreme Court Case- Plessy vs. Ferguson
brown vs board of education
Yes, Herman Plessy lost his case in the Supreme Court. In the 1896 case of Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, stating that separate facilities for different races were legal as long as they were equal in quality. This decision legally sanctioned racial segregation for several decades until it was eventually overturned in the 1954 case of Brown v. Board of Education.
Brown v. Board
Racial segregation was legal.
Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896) was a landmark constitutional law case of the US Supreme Court. It upheld state racial segregation laws for public facilities under the doctrine of "separate but equal".
Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) granted state-sponsored segregation. One major case used to overturn it was Brown v. Board of Education (1954).
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.
