Web. 14 Sept. 2012. This website is very informational, and tells about how that they wanted
“Separate, but equal” things for black, and white people. This is a good for just an overview, and
is going to be good to put it into perspective. “Such is the case of Homer Adolph Plessy, the
plaintiff in one of the most famous of all Supreme Court cases, Plessy v. Ferguson, which
became the legal basis for the "separate but equal" doctrine.” The Plessy vs. Ferguson case, is
one of the more talked about Supreme Court cases ever, and was about the “Separate, but Equal”
doctrine.

website shows a specific area, and how it had to change which is very informational. “The statute
of Louisiana, acts of 1890, c. 111, requiring railway companies carrying passengers in their
coaches in that State, to provide equal, but separate, accommodations for the white and colored
races, by providing two or more passenger coaches for each passenger train, or by dividing the
passenger coaches by a partition so as to secure separate accommodations; and providing that no
person shall be permitted to occupy seats in coaches other than the ones assigned to them.” This
is one of the many legal changes made in many states, saying that people that were not white
were supposed to be treated equally, but separately from them.
