18 Mai 1896 Jahr - Plessy v. Ferguson

Beschreibung:

Plessy v. Ferguson, decided in 1896, was a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case in which the Court upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation laws for public facilities under the doctrine of "separate but equal." This decision provided legal justification for segregation and discrimination in nearly every aspect of American life until it was eventually overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954.
