state governments had no impact from this decision in regards to members of different races
racial segregation remained in the 20th century

Explanation:

In Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), the "separate - but - equal" doctrine was established, which effectively upheld racial segregation. This decision had the impact of allowing state governments to enforce racial segregation. It was not about the equality of all individuals as segregation was still in place. It did not lead to integration of members of different races and racial segregation continued for many decades.

Answer:

The impact was that state governments were able to enforce the practice of racial segregation.
