How did Justice Warren describe Plessy v. Ferguson opinion?

Justice Earl Warren described the Plessy v. Ferguson opinion as fundamentally flawed because it upheld the "separate but equal" doctrine, which legitimized racial segregation. He emphasized that this ruling created a legal framework that perpetuated inequality and discrimination against African Americans. Warren argued that segregation had a detrimental effect on the hearts and minds of those affected, asserting that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." His criticism highlighted the need for a more just and equitable interpretation of the Constitution.
