Plessy V. Ferguson by Williamjames Hull Hoffer
Six decades before Rosa Parks boarded her fateful bus, another traveller in the Deep South tried to strike a blow against racial discrimination - but ultimately fell short of that goal, leading to the Supreme Courts landmark 1896 decision in Plessy v. Ferguson. Now William James Hull Hoffer vividly details the origins, litigation, opinions, and aftermath of this notorious case.-
