Separate But Equal was a 1991 American television movie depicting the landmark Supreme Court desegregation case Brown v. Board of Education. It starred Sidney Poitier as lead NAACP attorney Thurgood Marshall and Richard Kiley as Chief Justice Earl Warren. Burt Lancaster and Lynne Thigpen also starred.

[edit] Burt Lancaster played the great American lawyer and one time presidential candidate, John W. Davis.

"Separate but Equal" won the Emmy from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in 1992 for Outstanding Miniseries. Written and directed by George Stevens, Jr. the film tells the story of Thurgood Marshall, as counsel for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, crafting a legal plan and leading the fight in the courts to end school segregation in the United States. Marshall's quest went to the United States Supreme Court where he and his fellow Legal Defense Fund lawyers argued that the Plessy v. Ferguson decision that made "separate but equal" the law of the land was unconstitutional. In 1954, the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Earl Warren, handed down a unanimous decision declaring that "segregation was inherently unequal."
