PLESSY V. FERGUSON RULING: WHO IS TO BLAME?

Who’s to blame for the Plessy v. Ferguson Ruling?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) discusses the devastating decision in the US Supreme Court's Plessy v. Ferguson case which solidified the infamous American era of Jim Crow laws and the doctrine of “Separate but equal.” Was this due to the failure of Reconstruction? Did the political climate of the late 19th century have too much sway over the US Supreme court at the time? Or perhaps it’s simply we the people who are ultimately to blame. Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation. Join our Patreon!Tell us who you think is to blame at http://thealarmistpodcast.comEmail us at [email protected] us on Instagram @thealarmistpodcastFollow us on TikTok @thealarmistpodcast Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/alarmist.
