The Plessy vs. Ferguson case had a major impact on Georgia history. The case, which was decided by the Supreme Court in 1896, established the "separate but equal" doctrine, which allowed for segregation in public places. This decision had a major impact on Georgia, as it allowed for the segregation of public schools, transportation, and other public facilities. This decision was eventually overturned by the Supreme Court in 1954 with the Brown vs. Board of Education decision, which declared that segregation in public schools was unconstitutional.
