Plessy v Ferguson
Any facts that you find important: Who was Plessy? A man that is 7/8 white and 1/8 black. He was arrested for violating a 1890 law. What was his complaint? His complaint was the segregation law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which forbids states from denying "to any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," as well as the Thirteenth Amendment, which banned slavery. How did the Supreme Court rule? The Court ruled that, while the object of the Fourteenth Amendment was to create "absolute equality of the two races before the law," such equality extended only so far as political and civil rights (e.g., voting and serving on juries), not "social rights" (e.g., sitting in a railway car one chooses). As Justice Henry Brown's opinion put it, "if one race be inferior to the other socially, the constitution of the United States cannot put them upon the same plane." Furthermore, the Court held that the Thirteenth Amendment applied only to the imposition of slavery itself. Was it unanimous? Yes. How did that ruling set up the conditions for Jim Crow laws to be enacted and enforced? It won social, political, and civil racial equality before the law. Personal reactions of group members: I don't like the racism. :( Return to Webquest
