Question

N 1954, the supreme court in brown v. board of education overturned the infamous “separate but equal doctrine” articulated in which of the previous cases?

Answer 1

"Plessy v. Ferguson, which held that as long as the separate facilities for the separate races were equal, segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment ("no State shall ... deny to any person ... the equal protection of the laws")" so basically the supreme court in 1896 mandated segregation! until "brown v board" struck it down and made it unconstitutional.
