Equality Before the Law
Civil Rights
Equal Protection Clause of the14th Amendment
“No state shall… deny to any person
within its jurisdiction the equal protection
of the law.”
Racism: hatred or intolerance of another race or other races
Segregation: the practice of separating people of different races, classes, or ethnic groups
Key Concepts
Legislation that declares segregation or…desegregation
Civil Rights Legislation
Plessy v. Ferguson
•Established the “separate but equal” clause •Declared that separation laws did not violate the 14th Amendment
Jim Crow Laws
•Laws in South that segregated public facilities•Facilities provided to blacks always far inferior to those provided to whites
Civil Rights Legislation
Brown v. Board
of Educati
on
•Chief Justice Earl Warren•Argument: Segregated schools hurt the equality of education•Outcome: To separate children solely based on race violated the equal protection clause of 14th Amendment
Chief Justice Earl Warren’s Exact Words… • “To separate African
American children from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever be undone…We conclude that in the field of public education the doctrine of “separate but equal” has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal”
Legacy of the Civil Rights Movement

Legacy of the Civil Rights Movement
Affirmative Action
•Making special efforts to hire or enroll groups that have suffered from discrimination in the past•“Reverse discrimination?”
Affirmative Action
Today: Separate but Equal?As we continue through the 21st
century, segregation by law is gone, but economic disparities and continuing patterns of segregated housing, in the North and South, show that the battle for equality has not yet been fully won.
