Scenarios about 'separate but equal'
A legal doctrine that justified racial segregation in the United States from the late 19th century until the mid-20th century, particularly following the Supreme Court's Plessy v. Ferguson decision in 1896. The doctrine claimed that segregated facilities for different races were constitutional as long as they were equal in quality, though in practice, facilities for non-whites were consistently inferior. In alternate history scenarios, the persistence or earlier abolition of this doctrine serves as a critical divergence point for exploring different racial justice timelines in America.
