Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark 1896 U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the “separate but equal” doctrine. The case stemmed from an 1892 incident in which African American train passenger Homer Plessy refused to sit in a car for Black people. Rejecting Plessy’s argument that his constitutional rights were violated, the Supreme Court ruled that a law that “implies merely a legal distinction” between white people and Black people was not unconstitutional. As a result, restrictive Jim Crow legislation and separate public accommodations based on race became commonplace.

Hello!


This was such an important phenomenon because at the time furs and skins were really expensive. Easily 8,000 for just a zebras hide, if not more. Africa was one of the biggest places to poach. Poaching is when an animal is killed illegally.


Hope it helps!
