Plessy v. Ferguson (1896)
It forbid black people from sitting in the same car as white people in Louisiana. Plessy was a man who was seven-eighths white and one-eighth black and had the appearance of a white man. Racism. They rejected his argument. No there was one dissenter so one person didnt agree with it. It set up the fourteenth amendment which made it new laws about segregation. Personal reactions of group members: We believe the 14th Admenment should have been made so it led to racial equality.

The Orgin Of Jim Crow
Timeline
 * The tradition of african american imitations began in February 1843.
 * Laws were passed in the late 1800's discriminating against african americans in the south.
 * In 1883 the U.S. Supreme Court declared the Civil Rights Act of 1875 unconstitutional.
 * By 1914 every southern state passed laws to create two seperate societies.
 * Beginning in 1915 Supreme Court started to intervene and the laws were challenged.
 * In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled in the case of Brown v. Board of Education. It was unconstitutional.
 * In the 1960's the Civil Rights Movement began which ended the Jim Crow Laws.

Other important facts
 * People imitated the way african americans sang and dance beginning in 1843
 * The most famous preformer was known as " Daddy Rice."

We thought that these acts were rude and offensive towards all african americans. This law was also unfair and bad to segregate places.

Site Seven Title


I think this is very different then many other things during this time. Black people are segregating the whites at this movie theater when usually it was the exact opposite of this. This was a picture of a sign on a moving picture theater in Waco, Texas. Any additional facts that you find important: How not only whites segregated but also blacks.

Personal reactions of group members to this person: I also think this is also bad. Two wrongs does not at all make a write. I really think it is horrible how both the whites and the blacks could not all just get along.
