Any facts that you find important:
Who was Plessy? He was a Louisiana man that was 7/8 white and 1/8 black, but he looked liked a fully white man. What was his complaint? HIs complaint was against the ruling of judge John Ferguson, and said that the segregation laws violated the 14th ammendment. Which prohibited states from not allowing "to any person with in their jurresdiction the equal protection of the laws" and for violating the 13th ammendment which banned slavery. How did the Supreme Court rule? The Supreme Court decided that the role of the 14th ammendment was to make "abosulte equality of the 2 races before the law" but the equality only went as far as political and civil rights, not social rights. Was it unanimous? It was not unanimous, 1 person voted with plessy. How did that ruling set up the conditions for Jim Crow laws to be enacted and enforced? The Plessy v.s. Ferguson case led to jim crow laws because the riling gave a "constitutional nod" to racial segregation in public places, which led to more and more segregated places in the south. Personal reactions of group members: i was surprised he was arrestetd even though he looked white

Any facts that you find important:Justin- Blacks and whites had to be separated in restaurants, buses, housing, telephone booths, water fountains, school and even prisons. Tyler- The fact that the militia was separate. If i was in the military i wouldnt care who was fightining along side me. Personal reactions of group members: Justin- I always knew about segregation in school restaurants and buses but I didn't realize how much the Jim Crow laws actually affected. I also didn't know how many laws there actually were and how they effected almost all parts of peoples lives. Tyler- i just find all the laws a little out of the park, like for what reason does it matter what race uses a water fountain, or a library, or even school text books.
