Plessy, a light~skinned New Orleans shoemaker of African lineage, boarded a "Whites Only" railroad coach. Rather than concealing his Negro heritage, he volunteered it to the conductor, who ordered him to move to the 'Jim Crow" car set aside by state law for Negroes. He refused, was quickly arrested, and charged with violating Louisiana law. As chronicled by acclaimed civil rights historian Harvey Fireside, Plessy's defiance led to one of the most pivotal civil rights cases in American history, and one of the Supreme Court's most tragic decisions. Professor Fireside uncovers many surprising details of the case, which began amid the remarkable Black Creole community that flourished in New Orleans even after Louisiana was purchased in 1804. Well~educated and prosperous, in the 1890s with the promises of Reconstruction unfulfilled, they threw in their lot with freed Negro slaves, when new racist laws relegated both groups to second~class citizenship. Professor Fireside shows that the case began with a simple act of civil disobedience: Plessy hoped that by offering himself up for prosecution, local people of color would be able to raise a forceful challenge to the South's entire system of racial segregation, and scuttle the myth of a "separate but equal" society. Among the "carpetbaggers," demonized in standard history texts as corrupt and greedy Northern agents, Fireseide reveals there were true idealists like Albion W. Tourgee, who argued Plessys case without fee to the Supreme Court of the United States. Seven justices there approved segregation laws as part of the folkways enshrined in Southern life. Only Justice John Marshall Harlan, a former slave owner, in a memorable dissent, punctured the hypocrisy behind a law claiming to provide "separate but equal" accommodations, which were in fact inferior and racist. After years of baseless constitutional interpretations denying Negroes civil rights under the Fourteenth Amendment, the Warren Court overturned Plessy in 1954, although it took another decade to begin enforcement of desegregation in the South. Separate and Unequal argues that despite tangible benefits to African Americans in the wake of Brown v. Board of Education, America still faces a resurgence of racial divisions~a reversal of progress in education, economic opportunity, and the distribution of social rights., Books<

Hardcover. Dustjacket. xx,396 pp. - From the publisher : On June 7, 1892, Homer A. Plessy, a New Orleans shoemaker, white in appearance but Negro according to the "one drop" rule that discriminated against anyone with even a small fraction of African blood by that injurious label, boarded a "Whites Only" railroad coach. He then volunteered his lineage to the conductor, who ordered that he move to a car set aside by state law for Negroes-and so began the legal crusade that culminated in one of the most tragic and dishonorable decisions in Supreme Court history. Here, acclaimed historian Professor Harvey Fireside presents a powerful account of Plessy v. Ferguson, the famously unlawful ruling that institutionalized racism and helped inspire the civil rights movement. Separate and Unequal combines judicial records and historic photographs with a richly evocative portrait of Jim Crow-era Louisiana and a tale of the personal heroism of Homer Plessy; lawyer Albion Tourgée, who argued his case pro bono; and Justice John Marshall Harlan, the decision's sole dissenter, who argued fervently against the Court majority opinion that "separate but equal" accommodations were not unjust and demeaning. With sophistication and passion, Fireside shares a history less renowned but every bit as explosively influential as that of Rosa Parks. Condition : very good copy. ISBN 9780786712939.

When Homer A. Plessy, a New Orleans shoemaker, refused to move to the "Jim Crow" railroad car set aside for Negroes by state law, he initiated a lawsuit challenging the entire system of racial segregation. In Separate but Unequal, Harvey Fireside traces the roots of the Supreme Court decision that enshrined racial separation in America for the next sixty years. He uncovers little-known areas of U.S. history, such as the remarkable Black Creole community that flourished as a distinct culture after Louisiana was purchased from France and Spain. Well-educated and prosperous, they threw in their lot with recently freed Negroes in the 1890s, because new racist laws relegated them both to second-class citizenship. Among the "carpetbaggers," demonized in history as corrupt and greedy Northerners, Fireside reveals true idealists like Albion Tourgee, who argued Plessy's case without fee to the Supreme Court. Seven justices there approved segregation laws, but Justice John Marshall Harlan - a former slave owner - dissented. He memorably punctured the hypocrisy behind a law claiming to provide "separate but equal" accommodations, which were actually inferior and racist. Unfortunately, as this book argues, these standards for African Americans still exist. Photographs are featured in this compelling historical drama. Media >, [PU: Carroll & Graf Publishers]<
