This question is about " Plessy vs, Ferguson"

D. Plessy was brought to an end through cases challenging the validity that racially segregated institutions and services were equal.

Explanation:

Plessy vs, Ferguson was a case that tried to legalize racial segregation in the country, mainly in the southern states. This case, sought to establish public spaces such as schools, transport, squares, colleges and other separate locations for blacks and whites. However, advocates claimed that spaces reserved for blacks would have the same qualities as spaces reserved for whites. They claimed that it was not a segregation, but a separation for political reasons.

The approval of Plessy vs, Ferguson caused blacks to suffer segregation for years, being victims of constant racism. That decision was only closed with the Brown v. Board of Education when it was questioned the validity that racially segregated institutions and services were equal.
