Plessy V. Ferguson
This is the 1896 Supreme court case against the "separate but equal" doctrine. This case branched off from an incident in which an African-American passenger on a train named Homer Plessy refused to sit in a Jim Crow car, this was in violation of a Louisiana law. The court rejected this saying that a state law that "implies merely a legal distinction" between whites and blacks did not conflict with the 14th and 15th amendments. -
