Any facts that you find important: Who was Plessy? A man that was 7/8ths white and 1/8 black but had an appearance of a white man. What was his complaint? he argued that the segregation law violated the equal protection claws of the 14th amendment How did the Supreme Court rule? while the object of the fourteen amendment was to create "absolute equality of the two races before the law' ' Was it unanimous? Yes How did that ruling set up the conditions for Jim Crow laws to be enacted and enforced?

Personal reactions of group members: Looking back at some of these laws, they seem very stupid and pointless and I wonder how our world ne like today if we still had these laws? Return to Webquest

Any facts that you find important: Law 1: All marriages between a white person and a negro or between a white person and a person of negro descent to the fourth generation and conclusive, are hereby forever prohibited-Florida (KK)- I think that i wouldnt be able to obey this law because my family is very biracial and diverse where the black women in my family are married to white men, and the black men in my family are married to white women, and that has rubbed off on me. Law 2: It should be unlawful for any white baseball team to play within two blocks of a negro race...

Law 3: White convicts shall have seperate apartments for eating and sleeping from negro convicts (KAYJA)- If a white man convicted the same crime as a black man they should not be treated differently they should recieve the same treatment and should have to deal with one another.
