18 Mai 1896 Jahr - Plessy vs. Ferguson - May 18, 1896

Beschreibung:

This court case began when a man named Homer Plessy refused to sit in a car for blacks. A law was passed in 1890 providing separate railway carriages for men of differing colors. The cars would be separate, but both whites and black would have the same facilities. Homer Adolph Plessy took the responsibility to test the laws constitutionality, but the court ruled that a law implying a “legal distinction” would not be made unconstitutional. However, the case resulted in a ruling of constitutionality to the “separate but equal” doctrine.
