Plessy Paves the Way for Brown

On May 17, 1954, the Warren Court unanimously dismissed Pressy vs. Ferguson's decision, and ended "separating but equality" of African-Americans and legal apartheid. This allows Brown v. Board of Education (347 US 483 [1954]) to ensure that the African-American community can make further progress in pursuing equal rights with other Americans, It is an important example. . The citizen committee recruited Homer Pleasure to ride the train to test the legality of the Louisiana independent car law.

In spite of the failure before the middle of the 20th century, Plesi laid the foundation for the Board of Education of Brown and Topeka. Browse seems to have been created, Brown can overthrow this decision. The overthrow of pressy revealed the racial bond that was deeply buried or ignored in the early American culture (before 1776). Brown's decision showed that a serious shortage of "separate but the same facility" had inherent defects from the outset. Birzer and Ellis raised an important issue of apartheid (as many other scholars did), but they ignored the moral side (just like any other jurist). "Independent but inferior doctrine" is not to keep inferior races away from their social victors and their ethnic bosses.

By mid-20th century Plessy v. Ferguson made "constitutive nodding" to apartheid in public places, except for the legal problem of increasing the separation system in the south. Despite Tracy's tram, the black facility at these facilities is clearly inferior to the white facility and forms an ethnic society. However, in the groundbreaking decision of Brown v. Board of Education (1954), the unanimous Supreme Court ruled that children of public schools passed apartheid's "natural inequality" and violated the 14th revision When doing the doctrine of equality suddenly turned over. . Brown became an important trigger for the civil rights movement (1955-68). It won society not only political, civic, racial equality but also before the law. Forty years later, Judge Harlan's objections became the law of the land.
