Question

According to the NAACP and the Supreme Court, why were "separate but equal” schools unfair?

Answer 1

In the pivotal case of Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that racially separate facilities, if equal, did not violate the Constitution. Segregation, the Court said, was not discrimination.

Step-by-step explanation:

So it's basically saying if what people did was wrong but it was among equal, it wasn't a problem since it's not violating the term of equal.

Answer 2

The "separate but equal schools" were unfair because they were never actually equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Amenities for black were always way worse than amenities for whites. Rusted water fountains, dirty bathrooms, not always getting a good quality education, etc.., so they were separate, but never really equal.
