brown Vs board ed
The legal standard of "separate but equal" established in Plessy v Ferguson was not overturned for approximately 58 years.

The Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson was important because it established the legal doctrine of "separate but equal," allowing for racial segregation in public facilities. This decision upheld racial discrimination and perpetuated the idea of white supremacy, leading to widespread segregation and systemic racism for decades to come. It was later overturned by the landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision in 1954.
