 Berea College v. Kentucky

Berea College v. Kentucky, 211 U.S. 45 (1908), was a significant case argued before the United States Supreme Court that upheld the rights of states to prohibit private educational institutions chartered as corporations from admitting both black and white students.Like the related "Plessy v. Ferguson" case, it was also marked by a strongly worded dissent by John Marshall Harlan.
