What reasoning does the Supreme Court give in support of the “separate but equal” doctrine [legal theory]?
Under "Show Your Work," please cite a specific phrase that helped you arrive at this conclusion.

Although Jim Crow laws separate people, this is lawful if the facilities are still equal in condition and caliber.

Plessy's argument assumes that segregation places people of color in an inferior position.

How does this photograph from 1940 reveal the legacy of the Plessy decision?

Justice Harlan was the sole voice who disagreed with the majority of his colleagues in the 6-1 Plessy v. Ferguson ruling.
While some Supreme Court cases are decided unanimously, other times the justices do not agree with the majority decision. These justices often write dissenting opinions that express how and why they disagree with the majority decision. In his dissent, Justice Harlan argues that segregation violated the 14th Amendment because it used the law to sanction inequality among races.
Though dissents do not become law as majority opinions do, they are important because they document the struggle between different interpretations of the law. Sometimes the dissent in one case becomes the prevailing viewpoint in a future case that overturns an earlier decision.
