July 28 1914 - November 11 1918
Answer:
No, I don’t think the Brown court would have said that people could be separated by race on a train. Brown fought against segregation in schools because it was unconstitutional and violated the 14th Amendment. I can’t see why they would agree with segregation in other institutions.
The Plessy case, which occurred quite a bit earlier than the Brown case, ruled that segregation was okay as long as it was “separate but equal.” If it was Plessy v. Brown, Brown could have made the argument that “If it has to be separate, it’s not truly equal.” There’s no reason to divide the people unless there’s unfair treatment involved.
By birth? i think? do you mean like how did they get in a certain caste? because then it would be by birth. but if you mean like what were the castes, i forget.
