Plessy Vs Ferguson,  Equal Rights?

This case is one of the few that remind the population that just because the authorities demand something doesn't not mean it is right or correct.

Plessy Vs Ferguson was one of the first cases after the civil war that targeted the social discrimination in a federal level, after a young colored man from Louisiana was taken in by the authorities under the argument that he was sitting in a ''White Only'' area, although this might not seemed as important as some cases in the past , the case had great power because of what it actually represented , that after a civil war and many laws and social correction segregation was legal in a federal level.



When the decision ruled in favor of the White man many remembered that authorities stand for what they are told and sometimes it is not always right. Judge Harlan wrote all men are equal in the eyes of the law , that the constitution doesn't not stand for any race or ethnicity , but that all man are rejoiced in freedom and not any law or  institution has the authority to take the freedom from anyone.
