Detailed explanation-1: -In Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the US Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public education was unconstitutional.
Detailed explanation-2: -The ruling in this Supreme Court case upheld a Louisiana state law that allowed for “equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races.” During the era of Reconstruction, Black Americans’ political rights were affirmed by three constitutional amendments and numerous laws passed by Congress.
Detailed explanation-3: -The decision in Plessy v. Ferguson, mostly known for the introduction of the “separate but equal” doctrine, was rendered on May 18, 1896 by the seven-to-one majority of the U.S. Supreme Court (one Justice did not participate).
