Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896)
The Supreme Court held a Louisiana state law requiring African-Americans and whites travel in separate railroad cars was constitutional, as long as the facilities provided were separate but equal (the opinion actually says, "equal but separate"). The decision legally sanctioned racist and segregationist policies already in effect, particularly in the South, and encouraged the adoption of discriminatory Jim Crow laws.
The Supreme Court at first said that it was the states' business and the federal government could not interfere. Later on, the Supreme Court made racial segregation illegal.

As a Democrat with Southern roots, Woodrow Wilson encouraged the spread of segregation in Government buildings in Washington DC. While Republican Presidents did try to encourage token integration of African-Americans into Government jobs. Wilson began to actively weed out appointments of African-Americans. He encouraged its growth in the South, and even felt that the movie "The Great White Hope," was an accurate depiction of the Antebellum South. At best, he turned a blind eye to racism in America, at worst, he was a racist.

There are no positive results from segregation. Segregation is a harmful practice that leads to discrimination, inequality, and division within society. It denies individuals their basic human rights and limits opportunities for personal and societal growth.
