56. Equality Before the Law

57. “No state shall… deny to
any person within its
jurisdiction the equal
protection of the law.”

58. Discrimination: making a
distinction in favor of or
against a person or “thing
Racism: hatred or
intolerance of another race
or other races
Key Concepts
Prejudice: an unfavorable
opinion or feeling formed
beforehand or without
knowledge, thought or
reason
Segregation: the practice
of separating people of
different races, classes, or
ethnic groups

60. 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

61. Brown v.
Board of
Education
• 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

62. • “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”

63. De Facto Segregation
De Jure Segregation
Segregation that exists
by practice and custom
Segregation by law
Example: Segregation
that existed in North
Example:
Jim Crow laws
Difficult to eliminate because it
requires changing people’s
beliefs and values

64. Affirmative
Action
• Making special efforts to
hire or enroll groups that
have suffered from
discrimination in the past
• “Reverse discrimination?”

65.  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.
