In the Plessy v. Ferguson Case (1896), the Supreme Court ruled that racially segregated public facilities were legal because they did not imply any inequality toward African Americans: they were consistent to the doctrine of "separate but equal."
However, this decision was later rendered invalid in the Brown v.
