Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court decision of Plessy v. Ferguson upheld the principle of separate but equal, making racial segregation legal. This would last until 1954 with the Brown v. Board of Education case.

In Plessy v. Ferguson, the Supreme Court ruled that facilities that were "separate but equal" were permissible under the US Constitution.

This allowed the Jim Crow laws to develop wherein African Americans went to different schools, ate at different restaurants or in different sections, and were generally segregated from the population
