Plessy versus Ferguson

loving versus Virginia

Shelley V Kramer

Answer 1

The Supreme Court decision that upheld the doctrine of "separate but equal" and allowed racial segregation to take place was **Plessy v. Ferguson** (1896). This case established the legal basis for racial segregation until it was ultimately challenged and overturned by **Brown v. Board of Education** (1954), which declared that separate educational facilities are inherently unequal, thus ending legal racial segregation in public schools.
