Answer:

The Plessy v. Ferguson Court Case

Step-by-step explanation:

This court case is brought up after a white passing man (a black person who looks like a white person ) sat in the "white section" or a railroad car and believed this was unfair.

The supreme justified the practice of segregation by coining the phrase "Separate but Equal" constitutional.
