separate but equal doctrine

separate-but-equal doctrine. The now-defunct doctrine that African-Americans could be segregated if they were provided with equal opportunities and facilities in education, public transportation, and jobs. • This rule was established in Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537, 16 S.Ct. 1138 (1896), and overturned in Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483, 74 S.Ct. 686 (1954). [Cases: Schools 13(2). C.J.S. Civil Rights §§ 111, 121.]
