Read the Information Below underline the Main FACTS in the passage;
On June 7, 1892, 30-year-old Homer Plessy was jailed for sitting in the "White" car of the East Louisiana Railroad. Plessy could easily pass for white but under Louisiana law, he was considered black despite his light complexion and therefore required to sit in the "Colored" car. He was a Creole of Color, a term used to refer to black persons in New Orleans who traced some of their ancestors to the French, Spanish, and Caribbean settlers of Louisiana before it became part of the United States. When Louisiana passed the Separate Car Act, legally segregating common carriers in 1892, a black civil rights organization decided to challenge the law in the courts. Plessy deliberately sat in the white section and identified himself as black. He was arrested and the case went all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Plessy's lawyer argued that the Separate Car Act violated the Thirteenth and Fourteenth

Amendments to the Constitution - In 1896, the Supreme Court of the United States heard the case and held the Louisiana segregation statute constitutional. Speaking for a seven-man majority, Justice Henry Brown wrote: "A statute which implies merely a legal distinction between the white and colored races -- has no

tendency to destroy the legal equality of the two races. The object of the Fourteenth Amendment was undoubtedly to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the law, but in the nature of things it could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based upon color, or to enforce social, as distinguished from political equality, or a commingling of the two races upon terms unsatisfactory to either." Justice John Harlan, the lone dissenter, saw the horrific consequences of the decision. "Our Constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The present decision, it may well be apprehended, will not only stimulate aggressions, more or less brutal and irritating, upon the admitted rights of colored citizens, but will encourage the belief that it is possible, by means of state enactments, to defeat the beneficent purposes which the people of the United States had in view when they adopted the recent amendments of the

Constitution." The Plessy decision set the precedent that "separate" facilities for blacks and whites were constitutional as long as they were "equal." The "separate but equal" doctrine was quickly extended to cover many areas of public life, such as restaurants, theaters, restrooms, and public schools. The doctrine was a fiction, as facilities for blacks were always inferior to those for whites. Not until 1954, in the equally important Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, would the "separate but equal" doctrine be struck down.

SS8H11 The role of Georgia in the modern Civil Rights movement - Although slavery ended as a result of the Civil War, African-Americans found that change came very slowly in Georgia. The 1940’s and 50’s saw a rapid change and Georgia was one of the central arenas in the modern civil rights movement.

A. Developments during the 1940’s and 1950’s

53. The ______governor’s race and the end of the White Primary - In ______, Ellis Arnall could not run because of term limits. In the democratic primary, Eugene Talmadge lost the popular vote to James Carmichael (due to the end of the White Primary which meant that blacks could vote). However, he won the primary because of the County Unit System.
Since there was no Republican candidate,

54. Eugene ______was insured victory. His supporters were afraid Talmadge would soon die, so several hundred of them secretly decided to write-in the name of his son, Herman, in the general election. Eugene Talmadge did win the general election but died before he could serve out his term. His supporters pointed to the few hundred votes for HermanTalmadge and declared that he should be the governor.
Ellis Arnall believed the rightful successor should be the Lt. Governor Melvin Thompson. Talmadge and his men broke into the Capital, changed the locks and prepared to become governor. Ellis refused to relinquish power and set up office at the Capital Information Counter.
At this point, Georgia had three men claiming to be governor, Arnall, Thompson and Talmadge. Three days later, Arnall resigned. Finally, two months later, the Georgia Superior Court ruled that Thompson was the rightful governor until a special election could be held in 1948.

55. ______Education - In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the Board of Education in Topeka, Kansas. It decided that the “separate but equal” concept was unconstitutional and required states to integrate their public schools. This decision is now seen as the launching point for the modern civil rights movement.

56.______- The son of Eugene, he was elected governor after his father died before he could serve his 4th term. After the controversy of the 1946 election he was elected in the special 1948 election and again in 1950. Like his father, Herman was a segregationist who resisted the changes required by the Brown v. Board of Education decision.

57.______MAYS - African-American minister and president of Morehouse College in Atlanta. He was an influential leader whose students including Martin Luther King, Jr.

58.______ - Became one of the principal leaders of the civil rights movement when he proposed a boycott of the bus company the refused Rosa Parks a seat in Montgomery, Alabama. His “I Have a Dream” speech is an American classic and 1964 won the Nobel Peace Prize, the youngest recipient ever. He was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee in 1968.
