Answer:

Separate but equal

Step-by-step explanation:

The Separate but equal was a legal doctrine that supposedly justified the segregation of race as long as the facilities provided equal services to the different races, (which turned out to be not the case), which is in accordance to the Fourteenth Amendment that guarantees equal protection for all. Apparently, many institutions still did not uphold this because there was a clear distinction or difference between services and goods renders among the different races, favoring the "white" Americans.
