assistant
The Supreme Court case that upheld the separate-but-equal doctrine was "Lum v. Rice" (1927). The court held that Miss Lum was not denied equal protection of the law because she was given the opportunity to attend a school which "receive[d] only children of the brown, yellow or black races". However, Chinese-Americans in the Mississippi Delta began to identify themselves with whites and ended their friendship with the black community in Mississippi.
