This Day in History Entry #66

There are some things that should not be done
Of these things, segregation is one
But way back in the day
The court said ’twas okay
In the case Plessy v. Ferguson

Event: U.S. Supreme Court rules that “separate but equal” facilities for whites and blacks are constitutional
Year: 1896
