may 18, 1896 - Case of Plessy v. Ferguson

Description:

"In Plessy v. Ferguson Americans had a choice- would they treat black people as fellow humans? The court's decision meant they chose not to do so, and in the years that allowed many white Christians upheld racial segregation and defended it as a Biblical mandate." (Color, 98).
