The central issue in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896) was the legality of racial segregation in public facilities under the doctrine of "separate but equal." Homer Plessy, an African American man, challenged Louisiana's segregation laws after being arrested for sitting in a whites-only railroad car. The Supreme Court upheld the state's segregation laws, ruling that racial segregation did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, thereby legitimizing discriminatory practices across the United States for decades. This decision reinforced systemic racism and set a precedent for future segregation laws.
