The outcome of Plessy v. Ferguson, decided in 1896, upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. The Supreme Court ruled that state laws requiring racial segregation in public facilities did not violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This decision legitimized many state laws that enforced segregation and discrimination against African Americans, entrenching systemic racism in the United States for decades. The ruling was eventually overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
