Choose one of the below for your main post. Respond to a minimum of two students and at least one student who answered a different question from you. This 1899 photograph of students at the Hampton Institute in Virginia was taken by Frances Benjamin Johnston. It is from Artstor.org.

1.) In Plessy versus Ferguson, what were the arguments for "separate but equal" legislation? What were the arguments against this legislation? What is a dissent? What are the implications of Harlan's dissent? What is Harlan's fundamental objection to the decision? What is Harlan's view of legal distinctions based on racial considerations? What does he feel will be the consequences of this decision? What does the Court say is the underlying fallacy of the plaintiff's argument? Give three examples during this time in which state legislation sustained separation. Make sure you read about the Plessy case.

2.) Explain: Legislation "is powerless to eradicate racial instincts or to abolish distinctions based upon physical differences, and the attempt to do so can only result in accentuating the difficulties of the present situation." What effect did Plessy versus Ferguson have? Make sure you read about the Plessy case.

3.) How and why had blacks, particularly in the South, been subjected to second-class citizenship by 1900? Why were Jim Crow laws predominantly in the South? How did Jim Crow happen? Make sure you read about the Plessy case.

4.) Analyze how African Americans were challenging white supremacy before World War I. Make sure you read about the Plessy case.

Note: Sometime this week, in one of your posts, reflect on what, in all your required work, you learned new, surprising, and interesting. If you cannot clearly demonstrate you have learned from all the required work in one of those three posts, then write this fourth post summarizing what you have learned from the required work. This is your opportunity, if you have not had a chance in your various posts, to demonstrate that you have done all the required work for this week.
