Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education
Cases similar to Plessy v. Ferguson include Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which rejected the "separate but equal" doctrine established by Plessy, declaring that racial segregation in public schools was unconstitutional. Another example is Loving v. Virginia (1967), which struck down laws banning interracial marriage, challenging the foundations of racial segregation. Additionally, Shelley v. Kraemer (1948) addressed racially restrictive covenants in housing, further dismantling legal structures upholding segregation. These cases collectively advanced civil rights and equality under the law.
Brown v. Board of education, Gideon v. Wainwright, plessy v. Ferguson
No. Plessy and Brown are two separate cases. Brown v. Board of Education, (1954) overturned the "separate but equal" doctrine established in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896) and declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional in 1954.
The question raised in the Plessy v Ferguson and Brown v Board of Education Supreme Court cases was that of racial segregation. Is it okay, and if so, how should it be done? In Plessy (the earlier case), it was determined that segregation was okay as long as the facilities and education were equal. In Brown (the later case), it was decided that legalized segregation is *inherently* unequal, and it was forbidden.
The brown decision was the opposite of the plessy decision and helped end segregation : Apex
