Tape v. Hurley

Tape v. Hurley, 66 Cal. 473 (1885) was a landmark court case in the California Supreme Court in which the Court found the exclusion of a Chinese American student from public school based on her ancestry unlawful. State legislation passed at the urging of San Francisco Superintendent of Schools after the school board lost its case enabled the establishment of a separate but equal segregated school, like the contemporaneous Plessy v. Ferguson (1896).
