supported segregation and stated it was constitutional to have separate public facilities.

Plessy v. Ferguson was a important court case where the Supreme Court stated that separate facilities as constitutional as long as it is equal. The decision allowed for white and black schools in addition to segregation in public transportation, restrooms, and other facilities. This decision allowed for legal segregation until the decision was reversed in 1954.
