Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In the case of Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court upheld the principle of "separate but equal" and used it to justify racial segregation. This decision allowed for the implementation of Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation in many areas of public life, including schools, transportation, and housing. It was not until the landmark decision of Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 that "separate but equal" was overturned as unconstitutional.
