What was the significance of Hernandez v. Texas?

Hernandez v. Texas was an appeal of a Texas Supreme Court decision that upheld the exclusion of Mexican-American jurors from a trial in which the defendant was Mexican-American.The US Supreme Court determined the Fourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause applied to more than two races, and that Mexican-Americans (and others) could not be excluded on the basis of race. This was a reasonable extension of prior interpretation of the Amendment.In the opinion of the Court, Chief Justice Earl Warren cited a nearly identical case, Strauder v. West Virginia, (1879), as precedent. In Strauder, the Court declared otherwise qualified African-Americans couldn't be excluded from jury duty. Strauder was reaffirmed by numerous other cases, such as Gibson v. Mississippi, (1896), Carter v. Texas,(1900), Norris v. Alabama, (1935), etc. The Warren Court adhered to the doctrine of stare decisis, with the only exception being the particular group(s) to which the decision applied.Case Citation:Hernandez v. Texas, 347 US 475 (1954)

In cases did the Supreme Court rule that DE jury segregation was constitutional as long as the facilities were and ldquoseparate but equal and for both blacks and whites?

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.
