The Plessy v. Ferguson case, decided in 1896, established the "separate but equal" doctrine, which upheld racial segregation laws. While it legally sanctioned discrimination, it also galvanized the African American community and civil rights activists, highlighting the injustices of segregation. The case served as a rallying point for future civil rights movements, ultimately leading to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954 that overturned Plessy and helped dismantle institutionalized racism. Thus, while Plessy was a setback, it also laid the groundwork for future legal challenges against racial discrimination.
