Any facts that you find important: Some important facts were that Plessy was only 1/8 Black and 7/8 White! Who was Plessy? He was the plantiff in the case. What was his complaint? His complaint was that segration law violated equal portection claus of the 14th amendment. How did the Supreme Court rule? They rejected his agrument and pointed out that both blacks and whites were given equal facilities of the law and were equally punished by the law. Was it unanimous? No, it was not. How did that ruling set up the conditions for Jim Crow laws to be enacted and enforced? It's equal as long as it's seperate. Personal reactions of group members: I don't think he should have been arrested for going on a white-only train when he was only 1/8 Black Return to Webquest

Examples of Jim Crow Laws

Mostly, every single place of entertainment or service had to be seperated.

How did you feel while listening to this person’s story? I felt very informed and upset but interested about the KKK and what they really did to the blacks and how they manipulated everyone. I felt kind of scared in a way. What effect did hearing the person’s voice have on you? It made the story seem so much more real like it could have happened or been happening right then! As you listened to the interview, could you hear emotions that are similar to your own? Yes, John was simpatheltic but to the point with his interview and I don't blame him. He made the scene more believable and funny in a way because at the end he was laughing which made it seem even more interesting. Return to Webquest

When did this event occur? September 22nd-24th 1906 What was the incident that started the riot? Aledged assults on white females by black males. What happened to those responsible for starting the riot (if anything)? The mb that attacked the blacks accussed of assulting the white women didn't did get in trouble! They were free to riot through the town and threaten the blacks until theydespersed becuase of a down pour of rain in the early morning. Any additional facts that you find important: Black had retrenchment of their communities after the riot

Personal reactions of group members to this person: I feel that the whites shouldn't have been able to mob and destroy black houses and buisenesses because of ALEDGED assults on white women. Return to Webquest

My first impression was, "wow, the blacks have to use the dining in the back? That's stupid." I see kind of an out house type of thing that was used for bathrooms way back then. Or a rest stop somewhere along a train trck or road. The caption I would give this picture would be like this: " This out house is not the only segregated dining room around by far. Blacks are now forced to use seperate rest areas than whites." This picture was taken in September 1943 by Esther Bubly, on the way from Louisville, Kentucky to Nashville, Tennesse. It seems that the people riding on the train had stopped to rest and came upon the dining room.The little rest stop had two door wats, one for whites and one for blacks. Maybe the door way and dining room for the blacks is in mcch worse conditions than the whites..? The blacks dining room probably doesn't have the same accommodations as the whites like seating and tables..? Original caption: " A rest stop for Greyhound bus passengers on the way from Louisville, Kentucky to Nashville, Tennessee, with separate accommodations for colored passengers." [Sign: "Colored Dining Room in Rear."].

Any additional facts that you find important:

Personal reactions of group members to this person: This isn't fair to the blacks being the same as the whites and having to dine in differnt places maybe with worse accommodtions.
