Question

The Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court case legalized Jim Crow practices throughout the South. The court ruled that segregation based on race was acceptable as long as facilities were of equal quality. Supreme Court Justice John Marshall Harlan wrote the dissent in the case.
The present decision, it may well be apprehended, will not only stimulate aggressions, more or less brutal and irritating, upon the admitted rights of colored citizens, but will encourage the belief that it is possible, by means of state enactments, to defeat the beneficient purposes which the people of the United States

Answer 1

in view when they adopted the recent amendments of the constitution, by one of which the blacks of this country were made citizens of the United States and of the states in which they respectively reside, and whose privileges and immunities, as citizens, the states are forbidden to abridge. Sixty millions of whites are in no danger from the presence here of eight millions of blacks. The destinies of the two races, in this country, are indissolubly linked together, and the interests of both require that the common government of all shall not permit the seeds of race hate to be planted under the sanction of law. What can more certainly arouse race hate, what more certainly create and perpetuate a feeling of distrust between these races, than state enactments which, in fact, proceed on the ground that colored citizens are so inferior and degraded that they cannot be allowed to sit in public coaches occupied by white citizens? That, as all will admit, is the real meaning of such legislation as was enacted in Louisiana.

Answer 2

What do you think of Justice Harlan’s predictions? Did the ruling in this case impact the country in the way that he described? Why do you think the rest of the court ignored his warning?

Answer 5

Justice Harlan's prediction could be that the times have changed and blacks aren't the only minority anymore. That soon, the white people will be one as well. Right now the focus is on the increase of browns. There isn't segregation in public places anymore, but we do have them in the workplace. Brown bosses will only hire brown workers. and vice versa.

Answer 6

Justice Harlan‘s prediction will possibly be that the Times have changed and blacks are no longer the only minority. Whites soon will be as well. Right now the focus is on the increase of blacks. We do not have segregation in public places but we have them growing in the workplace. Black bosses will only hire black workers. Black and white need not apply.
