brown vs board of education
he was a judge for the supreme court in separate but equal.
The Supreme Court passed Brown v. The Board of Education in 1954; this case was pivotal in ending the 'separate, but equal' doctrine that had perpetuated segregation. It illuminated the fact that separate was inherently not equal.
In the pivotal case of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that racially separate facilities, if equal, did not violate the Constitution. Segregation, the Court said, was not discrimination.
The Supreme Court decision that found separate but equal schools to be unconstitutional and fundamentally unequal was Brown v. Board of Education (1954). This landmark ruling declared that racial segregation in public schools violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. It overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).

The supreme court in plessy v fergussion based on a theory that separate can be equal but in reality it's not
The Supreme Court case you’re referring to is likely Bowers v. Hardwick (1986), which dealt with the constitutionality of a Georgia sodomy law, but it did not address the "separate but equal" doctrine directly. The term "separate but equal" originates from Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which upheld racial segregation under the premise that separate facilities for blacks and whites were constitutional as long as they were equal. This doctrine was eventually overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, which declared that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal and unconstitutional.
