The Supreme Court

In 1896 the Supreme Court ruled in favor of "separate but equal" in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson. The one dissenting justice (Justice Harlan) stated that the Constitution was "color blind". In the 1954 Supreme Court case of Brown v. Board of Education Topeka the court determined that "separate is never equal" and reversed the Plessy v. Ferguson decision.

How would life in the United States be or have been different IF the Supreme Court had rule in favor of Plessy and supported "separate is never equal" in its 1896 decision? (Consider what you know about the Civil Rights Movement when responding to the prompt.)
