Plessy v Ferguson (1896)•"The object of the [Fourteenth] Amendment was undoubtedly to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the law, but in the nature of things it could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based upon color, or to enforce social, as distinguished from political, equality, or a commingling of the two races upon terms unsatisfactory to either."

•—Justice Henry Billings Brown, speaking for the majority

Court’s decisionhttp://www.landmarkcases.org/plessy/home.html

• Separate is equal, meaning the separation of the races in public places is equal if the separate facilities are the same.

• The reality was – they never were !
