Tag Archives: seperate but equal

In my movie, “Where is my Freedom?”, I want to mention this picture in the time between 1890 to 1900. This picture represent the exact scenario of “separate but equal” doctrine. Here I find that the colored people (originally black people) were being insulted by this doctrine. After the 1896 court case of Plessy vs. Ferguson, the “separate but equal” clause became law. African Americans were entitled to “equal” public places as whites, but they have to use separate places. This “separate but equal” law had huge impact in American society until the Civil Rights Movement in 1960s.
