Answer:

Plessy V Ferguson was a supreme court case back in the late 1800s. It created the "separate but equal" statement to make sure even if colored and white people were separated, they both would be "equal". A man named Homer Plessy had refused to sit in a train car that was designated for black people which stirred trouble.
