The Plessy v. Ferguson decision, issued by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1896, upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. The case arose when Homer Plessy, an African American man, was arrested for sitting in a "whites-only" railroad car. The Court ruled that segregation did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, effectively legitimizing state laws that enforced racial segregation for the next several decades. This ruling reinforced systemic racism and discrimination in the United States until it was eventually overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
