- A video case brief of Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896). Read the full text brief at www.quimbee.com/cases/plessy-...
In 1890, the State of Louisiana passed a law that provided for separate railway cars for Caucasian and African American persons. Plessy (defendant) was seven-eighths Caucasian and one-eighth African American, but was considered African American under Louisiana law. He challenged the law by taking a seat in a Caucasian railway car and was asked to move to the African American car by the conductor. When he refused, he was forcibly ejected and imprisoned. The Committee of Citizens originally brought suit on behalf of Plessy in Louisiana state court challenging his arrest and conviction. The presiding judge, Ferguson (plaintiff), held that Louisiana had a right to enact such legislation to regulate railway companies as long as those companies operated within the state’s borders. Plessy then sought a writ of prohibition against Ferguson. The Committee of Citizens appealed on Plessy’s behalf to the Louisiana Supreme Court, which upheld Judge Ferguson’s ruling. The United States Supreme Court granted certiorari.
Legend has it that Plessy never got a refund for that ticket.
lol
Lmao🤣🤣🤣
The real injustice
😂😂😂😂

Was watching this to study and was pleasantly surprised to hear Andy Field's voice.
FRER I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
you have chosen EXOTIC BUTTERS 🧈 🎉
4:20 here is the sum of the whole vid

I don't remember this in sister location
LFMAO
LMAO I AM SO GLAD IM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO THOUGHT OF THIS. i really wasn't ready for Handunity to teach me history today.
I can't believe hand unit is helping me with my exam, haha
Ayo????? Hand unit????
👀
Thanks for the vedio.. I skipped the chapter then decided to watch or read something online regarding this case.. Turns out this is actually interesting!
What did you use to animate this. I really want to know since it is really good looking. Great video btw.
a computer
Courage à tous ceux qui regardent cette vidéo en cours d'anglais !
On comprend rien 😂
I’m debating against another person in my history class from the black perspective with this case. This video definitely gets me through this and I love it!
Plessy vs Ferguson ; Separate but equal
You mean not equal!!
Justice Harlan did not believe that black and white people were equal. When dissenting he said "the white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is, in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth and in power" he believed the white race was superior, but it was not the Constitution's job to reflect that
The quote: "The white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth and in power. ... But in view of the constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. 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 humblest is the peer of the most powerful. The law regards man as man, and takes no account of his surroundings or of his color when his civil rights as guaranteed by the supreme law of the land are involved."
Being a “dominant” race is one thing, and being a “superior” race is another.
Thanks for the info, Handunit.
Homer Plessy is my 1st cousin 4x removed, which mean his grandfather is my great-great-great-great-grandfather. One of the worst Supreme Court decisions of all time.
That's why it was later overturned. Now it is a kind of precedent showing that SCOTUS can make mistakes that are corrected by future courts - like Roe v. Wade was overturned in 2022.
"Equal but separate" sounds expensive
Pretty sure plessy stood up and declared himself to be black, not white.
vous êtes là best prof
Was Andy Field in this video?
it sounds just like him i’m researching so frantically to find out who the narrator is
I’m doing a project based on this and this tells me NOTHING about Ferguson’s side
This video clearly implies that Ferguson was a Louisiana criminal court judge who ruled in favor of the state and against Plessy, thus convicting Plessy of the charges against him. It's easy to assume Ferguson was a lawyer with some political connections, and that he resided in Louisiana for at least a few years. The video then states outright that Plessy appealed his conviction to the federal court by filing his Writ of Error against Ferguson. I'm not sure what else you want to know about Ferguson - his birthplace, age, marital status, favorite fishing spots, favorite adult beverage? - but there are plenty of resources out there these days.
I want to said thanks so much I understand this video better than the book thanks again
Nice presentation sir
Why was plessy depicted so dark in this?
Dang I wish I could animate this good
IS THAT ANDY FIELD
I love how the Court tried to claim that the racial segregation was ok because the races "preferred" segregated seating - all while ignoring the fact that the case arose because Plessy preferred to sit in the white section in the first place. Bruh...
But plessy was white though, how did they ev see n know he was fully white
@@jojod.uchiha3704 he was recruited to sit in the white section so that he could be rejected and then sue the government. That’s how most Supreme Court cases are started, a group of people that want a law changed will recruit someone to violate the law then that group will start court proceedings for that case all the way up to the Supreme Court.
IS THIS NOT THE BRUV FROM FNAF
I cannot physically listen
This was a case about smells. Kinda hard to get around that.
Also I downloaded Quimbee and it’s EXPENSIVE $300 and I’m not even in college I’m in MS like wtf?
It is important to know that the stunt was or coordinated with the railcar owner because separate cars cost him more and Plessy presented as white.
Yea if I recall everyone that was involved, until the DA got involved and started prosecution, knew he was "colored" and that he easily passed as "master" race, and wanted the laws reversed.
Can someone please summarize this video? Im in a rush to study for my history exam tomorrow and im so scared ill fail
Did you pass?

Matthew 9:35
And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.
Right on, he talked about God's purpose for this Earth, and how the meek will inherit it, let kingdom come to Earth as in heaven, after God's battle with the wicked and Satan the devil, seek Truth
Legend has it, that states used to have rights...
So segregation is okay so long as it's chosen by the government of the states? Sssssss, I don't man sounds kinda shitty since most southern states during the Civil Rights movement didn't want segregation to end.
What a disgrace.
Harlan showed insight to explain why this was wrong.
but who is ferguson
The world is still the same, except now we have internet
On s'balance pas les gars on reste fidèle entre nous hein enzo
What were your resources?

BRUH IS THIS THE GUY FROM FNAF
YEAH-
Why do you sound like the FNAf commentator ?
It's him, Quimbee hired him.
hand unit
I think it's good. But what I don't like about the kids at my school is that some of them just give me a feeling of even though they are coloured or another culture, they still say Blacks are treated equally to this day( false)
the voiceover sounds like the voice in FNAF SL
He is, it's Andy Field. I reached out to him during law school and he confirmed
A perfect 72 degrees
anyone else using this for an online lesson?? just me? ok
You really shouldn't. It's shit, and gives basically the entirely wrong impression of what happened.
It’s always left off the plessy purposely sat in the white coach and waited to cross state lines then told the conductor he was black and refused to sit in the black cart as a means to get a federal case so that the Supreme Court would hear his argument.
So he went to prison?
But who is Ferguson???
Dude - the video says he was the local judge who presided over Plessy's conviction. Pay attention!
My Ethnic Studies teacher made me watch this

Shouldn’t the caricature of Brown be a girl and not a man? Granted the case was brought by her parents, but the Brown was Linda Brown.

American own blacks reparation, a debt that will never go away🙏🏾
I agree, however, I wonder how they will begin to start repayment. Would mix race people qualify? Would we start the one drop rule for this? Would it be payment in actual money or fertile land as once promised🤔 just curious how the process begin today. I would assume there have to be some kind of knowledge of family tree. Only because of black Americans who are 2nd or 3rd generation... I would think might not qualify in the U.S. please share your thoughts:-)
Affirmative action is a good form of reparation
Nope, we do not *owe* people who cannot be arsed to use proper spelling, grammar, and punctuation.

I do not want to be here right now.
Lol now Ben Shapiro is in my recommended
plessy looked white whereas you made him black thanks for the vid tho
herro class
x)
the history of this country is gay.
crash groovy right
no u
This is why we need activist judges on the supreme Court so stuff like this wouldn't happen
Judges that actually violate the law because of their own moral framework? Funny way to say tyranny.
@@DMWayne-ke7fl Tryanny is violating the rights of the minority, laws are not moral.
Uh, no. That's not how it works. The justices swear an oath to deliver justice "without respect to persons." They should simply be made to uphold that oath.
Ummm, Plessy wasn't black... He was ⅛ black that looked COMPLETELY white... He even argued that he was ⅞ white and should be allowed to sit with the whites... His argument was for himself, not the so-called blacks... We need to stop praising people who had selfish motives and say it was for all...
It makes perfect sense when you understand a few points in Louisiana law. At least in those days, the law considered one "negro" or "black" if they had even one "black" ancestor. My guess is that Plessy intentionally used his own ancestry to challenge that particular law in federal court. Very clever fellow!
@@darktimesatrockymountainhi4046 Did you not read up on him??? Or listen to this video??? He argued against being so-called black and claimed his entire life to be a white man... That depiction of him in this video is completely off... That man passed as white and claimed it... At the very least he was about the completion of a Sicilian man... How is that clever???
@@courtneybryant04 This video says explicitely that he passed for white, boarded the train in one state, rode in the white section, and then, once they entered Louisiana, he told the conductor he was black. Maybe the video is not correct.
@@courtneybryant04 Although I appreciate your point-of-view & your verve, allow me to point that, while I was previously not very familiar with this - which is to say I knew about Plessy v. Ferguson & that it represented an era of segregation, "Separate but Equal," etc. - I have just this morning gone on an adventure to understand this. It's been very interesting & educational, filling in a wealth of details, surveying several different perspectives, and generally supporting my interpretation. Yes, this video has some things not correct, so I watched others & did some reading to clarify, verify, and correct my view. Are you willing to gather more information & correct the things you don't know about?
@@darktimesatrockymountainhi4046 My friend, I'm not one of those close minded people we all run into on the internet and life in general... I'm always willing to research and learn from others as well as books and articles... I would definitely admit when I'm wrong or be corrected in partial truths... I did a report on this trial and Brown vs Board of Education in my junior year in high school in 1999/2000... I admit I did half ass them both back then due to my lack of knowledge of how important they both were/are... So I'm open to dialog to get more information on them... I felt exactly how you feel now about them thinking he was a willing activist in the situation... Until I dug further into it as of late with more access to the information than I had then... What have you learned from your research???
This little cartoon misrepresents Homer Plessy identity the fact that Plessy was as white in appearance as a person known to be considered as white, whatsoever that really means. I hope in the future your following cartoons DEPICT the true facts!
