Justice John Marshall Harlan was a key figure in the Plessy v. Ferguson case, which was decided by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1896. He was the lone dissenter in the decision that upheld racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. Harlan argued that the Constitution is colorblind and that the law should treat all citizens equally, regardless of race. His dissent laid the groundwork for future civil rights advancements and highlighted the moral and legal inequalities of segregation.
