    PLESSY VS
    FERGUSON 1896

     On May 18, 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court


    case Plessy v. Ferguson ruled that separate-but-equal
    facilities were constitutional. The Plessy v.
    Ferguson decision upheld the principle of racial
    segregation over the next half-century. The ruling
    provided legal justification for segregation on trains
    and buses, and in public facilities such as hotels,
    theaters, and schools. The Supreme Court overruled
    the Plessy decision in Brown v. the Board of
    Education on May 17, 1954
