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.
