Some judicial historians would cite Roe vs. Wade...
Dred Scott...rested upon the concept of "substantive due process" that the Court praises and employs today. Indeed, Dred Scott was very possibly the first application of substantive due process in the Supreme Court, the original precedent for...Roe v. Wade Justice Scalia
Baliey vs Alabama : It was a United States Supreme Court case which overturned the peonage laws of Alabama. The Alonzo Bailey case is regarded as being the most important case of its kind after the Dred Scott v. Sandford decision.

The two classics are:
Plessy v. Ferguson, 1890s, about keeping the races and treating the races 'separate but equal'
and
Brown v. Topeka Board of Education, 1950s, about canceling the above case and forcing states and schools to accept integration.
These are the two key race cases after Dred Scott. One might include Bakke v. University of California, but that is getting a bit too far afield; it deals with reverse discrimination.

Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka
case in which, on May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled unanimously that racial segregation in public schools violated the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which says that no state may deny equal protection of the laws to any person within its jurisdiction. The 1954 decision declared that separate educational facilities were inherently unequal. Based on a series of Supreme Court cases argued between 1938 and 1950, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka completed the reversal of an earlier Supreme Court ruling (Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896) that permitted "separate but equal" public facilities. The 1954 decision was limited to the public schools, but it was believed to imply that segregation was not permissible in other public facilities.
