Boynton v. Virginia 364 U.S. 454 (1960) was a decision by the Supreme Court of the United States. 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.
