i have to read these two cases but they are soooo long is there anyway soemone could summarize it up for me?
 
Plessy v Ferguson--the Court ruled that separate but equal accomodations (Pullman sleeping cars on trains) were Constitutional. It allowed segregation, but was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka KS in 1953.
