The principle of separate but equal was established by Plessy v. Ferguson, a U.S. Supreme Court decision of 1896. It advocated for separate facilities for white and non-white people, presuming that the facilities were equal, though this was not the case in practice. This principle was overruled by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. ;

The principle of 'separate but equal' was established in the 1896 Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, which upheld racial segregation as constitutional. The ruling concluded that as long as separate facilities were equal, segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment. This decision provided legal justification for segregation until it was overturned by future court rulings.
