JUSTICE BROWN, after stating the case, delivered the opinion of the court. This case turns upon the constitutionality of an act of the General Assembly of the State of Louisiana, passed in 1890, providing for separate railway carriages for the white and colored races. Acts 1890, No. 111, p. 152. The first section of the statute enacts "that all railway companies carrying passengers in their coaches in this State shall provide equal but separate accommodations for the white and colored races by providing two or more passenger coaches for each passenger train, or by dividing the passenger coaches by a partition so as to secure separate accommodations: Provided, That this section shall not be construed to apply to street railroads.

It was problematic because it enabled segregation. It stated that segregation is not unconstitutional if the state provides completely the same commodities to both groups. That means that people can be segregated based on race into different schools as long as those two schools provided everything equally to every student.

What type of economy do towns have?
Sidana [21]

Answer:

local economies

Explanation:

Over time, all communities experience changes that affect the industries, technologies, and land use

patterns that help form the foundation of their local economies. Economically resilient towns, cities,

and regions adapt to changing conditions and even reinvent their economic bases if necessary. Even

if the community has lost its original or main economic driver, it has other assets that it can use to

spur the local economy. While most economic development strategies involve some effort to recruit

major employers, such as manufacturers or large retailers, many successful small towns and cities

complement recruitment by emphasizing their existing assets and distinctive resources. This report

examines case studies of small towns and cities that have successfully used this approach
