The Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, decided on May 18, 1896, established the doctrine of "separate but equal," legitimizing segregation in the United States. Initially met with little public reaction, its profound implications shaped societal norms and legal precedents, influencing civil rights movements and racial dynamics well into the twenty-first century. The case stands as a pivotal moment in American history, highlighting the tension between justice and inequality.
