Descripción:
This supreme court case was brought from Louisiana to judge John H. Ferguson. In 1890 Louisiana developed a law pertaining to “separate but equal accommodations for the white and the colored” on the railways. However in 1892 a passenger named Homer Plessy refused to sit in the Jim Crow car. The court completed denied Plessy’s argument his constitutional rights were being violated and voted 7-1 that a state law that “implies merely a legal distinction” between whites and blacks doesn’t violate the 13th nor the 14th amendment. This restrictive legislative based on race continued until the supreme court case Brown v the Board of Education.
