The Supreme Court ruled that jury segregation was constitutional in cases like Hernandez v. Texas (1954) and Strauder v. West Virginia (1880), where it was held that "separate but equal" facilities could be maintained for both blacks and whites, including juries. However, this principle was later challenged, leading to significant civil rights advancements, culminating in the landmark decision of Brown v. Board of Education (1954), which deemed the "separate but equal" doctrine unconstitutional in public education.
