Respuesta :

 The impact of Plessy v. Ferguson, a Supreme Court decision made in 1896. The Court ruled on the concept of 'separate but equal' and set back civil rights in the United States for years to come. Plessy v. Ferguson enabled 'separate but equal,' aka segregation, to become a law in the United States. After this, Jim Crow laws, which were a system of laws meant to discriminate against African Americans, spread across the U.S. For years, any type of public facility could be legally separated into 'whites only' and 'blacks only.'
