Boynton v. Virginia, 364 U.S. 454 (1960), was a landmark decision of the US Supreme Court. The case overturned a judgment convicting an African American law student for trespassing by being in a restaurant in a bus terminal which was "whites only". It held that racial segregation in public transportation was illegal because such segregation violated the Interstate Commerce Act, which broadly forbade discrimination in interstate passenger transportation. It moreover held that bus transportation was sufficiently related to interstate commerce to allow the United States federal government to regulate it to forbid racial discrimination in the industry.

  • Il caso Boynton contro lo stato della Virginia (codice 364 U.S. 454) fu un caso giudiziario della Corte Suprema statunitense del 1960, inerente tematiche di segregazione razziale, cui prese parte anche Thurgood Marshall. Fu decretato che la segregazione razziale per i mezzi di trasporto pubblico fosse illegale in quanto violazione dell', secondo il quale la discriminazione dei passeggeri era punibile per legge su qualsiasi tragitto interstatale. Inoltre, fu difesa la tesi secondo cui le compagnie di autobus di tutto il Paese dovessero tutte bandire ogni forma di discriminazione razziale. (it)

  • L'affaire Boynton v. Virginia, 364 U.S. 454 (1960), est une décision historique de la Cour suprême des États-Unis. L'affaire a annulé un jugement condamnant un étudiant en droit afro-américain pour avoir commis une violation de domicile en se trouvant dans un restaurant d'une gare routière qui était "réservé aux Blancs". La Cour a estimé que la ségrégation raciale dans les transports publics était illégale, car elle violait la loi sur le commerce interétatique, qui interdit de manière générale la discrimination dans le transport interétatique de passagers. Il a en outre estimé que le transport par bus était suffisamment lié au commerce interétatique pour permettre au gouvernement fédéral des États-Unis de le réglementer afin d'interdire la discrimination raciale dans ce secteur.
