On this day in 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson that racially segregated public facilities were legal — as long as they were equal. The ruling affirmed and reinforced “Jim Crow” laws and established the “separate but equal” doctrine that would stand for the next 60 years.

We cannot live up to our greatest ideals without confronting the realities of our past.

plessy v ferguson enshrined state level segregation, brown v board of education overturned it. the confederate monuments you think represent southern culture were literally put up to remind black people of their second class status. this is like how god wasn't in the pledge or on the momey until the cold war and the godless soviets were our enemy. the confederate monuments are white suoremacist propaganda, full stop, and we should not enshrine kkk recruitment tools in our city parks. #whitesupremacy #statues #plessyvferguson #brownvboardofeducation #midcentury

THE LIONS SHARE OF THOSE **BEAUTIFUL** STATUES WERE PUT UP AFTER PLESSY V FERGUSON AKA SEPERATE BUT EQUAL. A BUNCH MORE WENT UP IN THE 60S WHEN MLK WAS MARCHING AND BEING ASSASSINATED. THEY ARE MONUMENTS TO SEGREGATION AND LYNCHING, DISGUISED AS MONUMENTS TO SLAVERY AND TREASON. IF YOU LIKE THEM YOU'RE SUPPORTING WHITE SUPREMACY. #trumpets #plessyvferguson #confederacy #statues #whitesupremacy
