Ferguson, the Supreme Court case synonymous with “separate but equal,” created remarkably little stir when the justices announced their near-unanimous decision on May 18, 1896. Yet it is one of the most compelling and dramatic stories of the nineteenth century, whose outcome embraced and protected segregation, and whose reverberations are still felt into the twenty-first. Separate spans a striking range of characters and landscapes, bound together by the defining issue of their time and ours—race and equality. Wending its way through a half-century of American history, the narrative begins at the dawn of the railroad age, in the North, home to the nation’s first separate railroad car, then moves briskly through slavery and the Civil War to Reconstruction and its aftermath, as separation took root in nearly every aspect of American life. 600 10 Plessy, Homer Adolph|vTrials, litigation, etc. 600 10 Harlan, John Marshall,|d1833-1911. 600 10 Tourgée, Albion W.,|d1838-1905. 600 10 Brown, Henry Billings,|d1836-1913. 600 10 Martinet, Louis A.,|d1849-1917. 650 0 Segregation in transportation|xLaw and legislation |zLouisiana|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 African Americans|xCivil rights|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Race discrimination|xLaw and legislation|zUnited States |xHistory|y19th century.
