Read the excerpt from the supreme court’s ruling in plessy v. ferguson. that petitioner was a citizen of the united states and a resident of the state of louisiana, of mixed descent . . on june 7, 1892, he engaged and paid for a first class passage on the east louisiana railway . . and thereupon entered a passenger train, and took possession of a vacant seat in a coach where passengers of the white race were accommodated; that such railroad company was incorporated by the laws of louisiana as a common carrier, and was not authorized to distinguish between citizens according to their race. but, notwithstanding this, petitioner was required by the conductor, under penalty of ejection from said train and imprisonment, to vacate said coach and occupy another seat in a coach assigned by said company for persons not of the white race. how does this relate to the premises of brown v. board of education?

The situation described above relates with the premise of Brown v. Board of Education in that Brown v. Board of Education was about segregation in a public space i.e. schools.

The Supreme Court ruled that segregation in public schools went against the 14th Amendment because citizens were not being treated equally by the state.

The situation above which led to segregation being made legal in the first place, is therefore according to Brown v. Board of Education, illegal and a violation of the rights of American citizens subjected to it.

In conclusion, Brown v. Board of education would have supported Plessy.
