Plessy v Ferguson and Segregation: Crash Course Black American History #21

- The United States Constitution is not a very detailed document. It lays out the basic structure of government, and the details are filled in with legislation and clarified and reinforced by court decisions. One of the most consequential Supreme Court decisions was the 1896 case of Plessy v Ferguson, which set the precedent that segregating people by race was acceptable. This meant that every public accommodation had the right to refuse to serve Black Americans and that even public institutions like schools could be segregated. While the decision did stipulate that the segregated accommodations be "separate but equal," the equal part of that equation was often left out.

I work as a carriage tour driver in the French Quarter of New Orleans. There's a public elementary school in the Quarter that was recently renamed in honor of Homer Plessy. Whenever I'm able, I use the school as a starting point to give a succinct summary of Plessy v. Ferguson.
These videos have been so enlightening and educating. Black American history was mostly glossed over when I was in school, and most of what's being covered with this series was never mentioned; or barely acknowledged at best. Black American history IS American (and US) history and should be taught congruently, not just in US history, but in world history.
This channel is a blessing.
Yes!!
I agree
Thank you so much for your videos! I used to show them to my HBCU students all the time.
Let me know if you ever need a host for Native American Crash Course vids. My first PhD is in aboriginal anthropology and my second is in First Nations literature, although I am currently driving big-rigs.
Sigh! I do so much miss the classroom and my students!
😢
Justice Harlan's dissent is unexpectedly passionate and accurate. This is particularly true when you consider the fact that the justice was a white man from KY.
Coolest black history teacher ive ever had. He literally creating a curriculum. Keep it up please
Now I have a much better understanding of 19th century Black American history because of this series.
Thank you for making these videos! These subjects are often times not covered in school, so it's nice to see that someone is willing to teach others about this unsung history.
Plessy v Ferguson is one of the most taught legal cases in high schools lol
70+ years of white supremacy being legalized... That should tell people, especially white people, that race is a topic of every day subject. And it should also tell them that white supremacy is rooted, not only in the legal system, but in everyday life
I love this series
Cspan has a podcast called landmark cases about the Supreme Court. It is a very interesting podcast. It has plessy v ferguson as well as brown v board of education. It also has other interesting cases as well.
“But I digress” nah talk yo shit🔥🔥🔥
I make it a point to follow every episode on this series and also share on my social media. Thanks
We must learn from our past so not to repeat it.
Great videos, this series is helping me review for some key concepts from my African American History after 1860 class
The more I learn about American history, and current culture, the more I realise the problems of slavery never ended. I mean, it's still there, in the 13th amendment! But also in the mindset of far too many people. It's amazing to think that in 2007 I thought that racism was a thing of the past (yes, I'm aware of my privilege) but the internet has been massively educational in that respect. Thanks for adding to that education 🙏
I’ve been learning many things from this series, I can’t wait for the next one!
This course is so helpful for my homeschool.
It’s crazy to think we want to explore the depths of the ocean and the darkness of outer space but still can’t find a way to live amongst each other here on the land of earth because the color of our skin
I obviously need to watch all of this crash course series now
What truly kills me is this is the history that people are trying to keep out of school and much of this is either skimmed over or not even taught until college.
Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it...
I’m white British and these videos are fascinating. I’m interested in these issues and want to educate myself further. Thank you Clint.
One of the most shameful days in American judicial history...
hello love your course
Thank you Clint, I have tried to appreciate the full value of these twenty one videos. I have enjoyed the information and your delivery.
Thank you. Thank you. You’re delivery and commentary is outstanding.
you guys are doing such amazing work with this series. I'd love to see something similar about some of the Native tribes in North America. I realize that is difficult because our first nations peoples are hella diverse, but...I also feel like if anybody could do it even halfway properly, it'd be you guys.
I remember learning about this in school years ago when I was a kid. I completely forgot about it until today someone brought it up in a convo about American history.
This is a great video!
Just who is giving this video a “Thumbs Down”????
We should do the right thing.
Thank you for making this series
Great as ever. As a non-American I had heard the name but had no idea of what the ruling was all about.
Crash Course is the best go to for understanding and getting through tough subjects.
I absolutely love your content. I'm learning a lot! Thank you, and keep the videos coming.
dang i remember watching these when i was taking APUSH back in primary school
that "hm" spoke volumes
Clint, I want to thank you and thank crash course for providing such a thought provoking and insightful class on the history of Blacks in our country. It is shameful, and inspires anger that white people have allowed such things to fester for so long. To allow it in the first place is unforgivable. I hope that through this course and informed discussions the right people can hear the message and that we as a united people can bring forth a nation that truly honors the statement "all men are created equal".
Perfect timing for my government classes
Very informative. Thank you.
I really enjoy these short lectures. They helped me a lot for my presentation in English class. Greetings from Germany!
Such a great video. Inequality was intentional. The micro aggressions I experience at work today is real. Thanks for these videos, I’m learning a lot.
Thank you for your great videos!
ur the best Clint!
This channel is helpful thank you
Awesome man thank you
Thank you. I knew a lot of this history, but there was a lot here that I learned. I like the conclusion. While this SC decision was one of the worst ever, it did not stop the progress that was to come. It may have delayed it; but that’s the nature of the movement, I think: two steps up - one step back. Thanks, again.
Good to know ,,, helping me pass my state exams
First-rate. Thanks.
Is it just me or does Homer Plessy look a lot like Craig Benzine?
Oh yeah, glad it wasn't just me thinking it.
Can we use this on our network?
How can I find justice john marshall's speech with his face in a picture
I love these video's, however I feel like the other crash course speaks with more emphasis. My students intercept the other crash course videos better in the sense that they capture his loud enthusiasm and choice of words during lectures.
thats so sad
Hey Mrs Juneau
One drop is crazy💀
Cartoon Plessy looks just like the host/narrator. 😆
Then 💥 brown v board of education
What's up my Brother, I am a New Orleans teacher. How can I reach you?
Just to be "that" guy... technically there are white blood cells...but I get the point 😅
Wait I’m 1% African American
I always wondered how the other races inn the country were treated during this time. Asians, Hispanics, Indians (East Indians), Arabs, Jews, etc. The other races other than black and white.
