What did the Plessy v. Ferguson case decide? What impact did this have on African American communities?

History

The Plessy v. Ferguson case ruled that segregation was legal. This greatly impacted African American communities because even though the principle "separate but equal" was deemed equal, it really wasn't at all. African American citizens often did not have the same opportunities and they had it more difficult than average white Americans.

This was overruled by the Brown v. Board case. This was started when a young African American girl had to walk over a mile to her school everyday, when there was a white school a couple blocks away. This gained a lot of attraction, as it is proof that "separate but equal" is not actually equal at all. After awhile, this case lead an end to segregation in school systems, and this eventually lead to an end to segregation in general and the overall integration of different races in society.

What was a result of widespread anti-Semitism in Europe in the late 1800s?
marishachu [46]

Answer:  The Zionist movement began and led to the settlement and creation of modern Israel.

Details:

Anti-Semitism was strong in Europe already in the Middle Ages, when Jews were accused of such things as spreading the plague by poisoning wells, or using the blood of murdered Christians to make the matzah for their Passover rituals.  The term "anti-Semitism" as a description for hostile opposition to the Jewish people was first used by Wilhelm Marr in 1879 in Germany.  Marr supported campaigns against Jews and began using the term "anti-Semitism" as a euphemism for what better might have been called "Jew-hating."

The main Zionist movement was largely secular in nature, focused on establishing a homeland for anyone of Jewish ethnicity.   Theodore Herzl is typically credited with getting the secular Zionist movement started with his book,  <em>Der Judenstaat </em>("The Jews' State), published in 1896.  Herzl also led in the founding of the World Zionist Organization, established by the First World Zionist Congress held in Switzerland in 1897.    Convinced that the Jews would never truly be welcomed or assimilated within the countries of Europe, Herzl argued for establishment of their own homeland somewhere. Eventually that "somewhere" became a movement focused on going back to the ancestral land of Israel.
