Plessy v. Ferguson (Story Time with Mr. Beat)

The video discusses the landmark Supreme Court case Plessy v Ferguson, which upheld racial segregation under the 'separate but equal' doctrine. Homer Plessy, who was one-eighth black, challenged Louisiana's Separate Car Act by sitting in a whites-only train car. His arrest led to a legal battle that reached the Supreme Court, which ruled against him, legitimizing segregation laws. This decision stood until it was overturned by Brown v Board of Education in 1954.
