Separate but equal was a legal doctrine established by the U.S. Supreme Court in the late 19th century, asserting that racial segregation was permissible as long as the separate facilities for Black and white individuals were equal in quality. This doctrine became the foundation for the Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation in many aspects of public life, including education, transportation, and public accommodations.
