Brown V. Board of Education

“Separate but Equal” In 1892 Homer Plessy, from New Orleans, Louisiana, bought a first class train ticket to Covington, Louisiana. He was ejected by a train conductor from a car assigned for whites only. He sued the conductor and the State of Louisiana under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.

“Separate but Equal”

“Separate but Equal” 14th amendment says… “…nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

“Separate but Equal” However, in 1894 the Supreme Court found that "separate but equal" facilities for blacks and whites were constitutional and legal in the United States.
