Read the Information Below underline the Main FACTS in the passage ; On June 7, 1892, 30-year-old Homer Plessy was jailed for sitting in the "White" car of the East Louisiana Railroad. Plessy could easily pass for white but under Louisiana law, he was considered black despite his light complexion and therefore required to sit in the "Colored" car. He was a Creole of Color, a term used to refer to black persons in New Orleans who traced some of their ancestors to the French, Spanish, and Caribbean settlers of Louisiana before it became part of the United States. When Louisiana passed the Separate Car Act, legally segregating common carriers in 1892, a black civil rights organization decided to challenge the law in the courts. Plessy deliberately sat in the white section and identified himself as black. He was arrested and the case went all the way to the United States Supreme Court. Plessy's lawyer argued that the Separate Car Act violated the Thirteenth and Fourteenth

Amendments to the Constitution - In 1896, the Supreme Court of the United States heard the case and held the Louisiana segregation statute constitutional. Speaking for a seven-man majority, Justice Henry Brown wrote: "A statute which implies merely a legal distinction between the white and colored races -- has notendency to destroy the legal equality of the two races. The object of the Fourteenth Amendment was undoubtedly to enforce the absolute equality of the two races before the law, but in the nature of things it could not have been intended to abolish distinctions based upon color, or to enforce social, as distinguished from political equality, or a commingling of the two races upon terms unsatisfactory to either." Justice John Harlan, the lone dissenter, saw the horrific consequences of the decision. "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 present decision, it may well be apprehended, will not only stimulate aggressions, more or less brutal and irritating, upon the admitted rights of colored citizens, but will encourage the belief that it is possible, by means of state enactments, to defeat the beneficent purposes which the people of the United States had in view when they adopted the recent amendments of the

Constitution." The Plessy decision set the precedent that "separate" facilities for blacks and whites were constitutional as long as they were "equal." The "separate but equal" doctrine was quickly extended to cover many areas of public life, such as restaurants, theaters, restrooms, and public schools. The doctrine was a fiction, as facilities for blacks were always inferior to those for whites. Not until 1954, in the equally important Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, would the "separate but equal" doctrine be struck down.

13th The Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution officially abolished and continues to prohibit slavery, and with limited exceptions, such as those convicted of a crime, prohibits involuntary servitude.

15 Amendment XV (the Fifteenth Amendment) of the United States Constitution provides that governments in the United States may not prevent a citizen from voting based on that citizen's race[1], color, or previous condition of servitude (i.e. slavery). It was ratified on February 3, 187O

14 The Fourteenth Amendment the Due Process and Equal Protection Clauses among others. It was proposed on June 13, 1866, and ratified on July 9, 1868.[1] It is perhaps the most significant structural change to the Constitution since the passage of the United States Bill of Rights. The amendment provides a broad definition of United States citizenship, overturning the Dred Scott case, which excluded African Americans. It requires the states to provide equal protection under the law to all persons (not only to citizens) within their jurisdictions, and was used in the mid-20th century to dismantle legal segregation, as in Brown v. Board of Education.

To serve as protection against the Spanish in Florida.

both were Atlanta mayors that made significant social and economic changes

Ellis Arnall's four years as governor of Georgia (1943-47) are considered to be among the most progressive. He championed progressive reforms in education and prisons; revised the state constitution, abolished the poll tax, lowered the voting age, and erased the state’s $36 million debt without raising taxes. The legislature approved his 10-point reform program within 24 days of his taking office—a record that still stands.

Vinson was born in Baldwin County in 1883. In 1914 he became the youngest member of Congress and served over 50 years, 25 consecutive terms. Vinson became an expert on military affairs and his long years chairing naval and military committees made him one of the country’s most respected voices on national security and earned him the nickname “the admiral.” The nuclear-powered carrier Carl Vinson honors the Father of the Two-Ocean Navy

A distinguished African American minister, educator, scholar, and social activist, Benjamin Mays is perhaps best known as the longtime president of Morehouse College in Atlanta. He was also a significant mentor to civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. and was among the most articulate and outspoken critics of segregation before the rise of the modern civil rights movement in the United States.

Herman Talmadge, son of Georgia governor Eugene Talmadge, took the governor's office briefly in 1947, and again after a special election in 1948. Upon returning home, he soon found himself running his father's last gubernatorial campaign in 1946. Eugene Talmadge was one of only two people elected governor of Georgia on four separate occasions. Thus the stage was set for Herman Talmadge to follow his father into politics. Before the year ended, Talmadge became embroiled in a political controversy following the death of his father. Part of the three governor episode.

The Bourbon Triumvirate (John B. Gordon, Alfred Colquitt,and Joseph E. Brown) had run Georgia politics from the end of Reconstruction until almost the beginning of the 20th century. Their 3 main accomplishments were lowering taxes, reducing war debts, and expanding business and industry. They were also criticized for not helping the poor, improving education, reforming factory conditions, and improving mental hospitals or the lives of convicts. Opposition to the BT began when farmers felt their voices were not being heard by the leaders in government who were pushing for more industry in our state. They also felt the leaders of our state were ignoring the poor and working class.

SS8H11 The role of Georgia in the modern Civil Rights movement - Although slavery ended as a result of the Civil War, African-Americans found that change came very slowly in Georgia. The 1940’s and 50’s saw a rapid change and Georgia was one of the central arenas in the modern civil rights movement.

A. Developments during the 1940’s and 1950’s

53. The ________governor’s race and the end of the White Primary - In ________, Ellis Arnall could not run because of term limits. In the democratic primary, Eugene Talmadge lost the popular vote to James Carmichael (due to the end of the White Primary which meant that blacks could vote). However, he won the primary because of the County Unit System.

Since there was no Republican candidate,

54. Eugene ______________was insured victory. His supporters were afraid Talmadge would soon die, so several hundred of them secretly decided to write-in the name of his son, Herman, in the general election. Eugene Talmadge did win the general election but died before he could serve out his term. His supporters pointed to the few hundred votes for Herman Talmadge and declared that he should be the governor.

Ellis Arnall believed the rightful successor should be the Lt. Governor Melvin Thompson. Talmadge and his men broke into the Capital, changed the locks and prepared to become governor. Ellis refused to relinquish power and set up office at the Capital Information Counter.

At this point, Georgia had three men claiming to be governor, Arnall, Thompson and Talmadge. Three days later, Arnall resigned. Finally, two months later, the Georgia Superior Court ruled that Thompson was the rightful governor until a special election could be held in 1948.

55. ________________________________Education - In 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled against the Board of Education in Topeka, Kansas. It decided that the “separate but equal” concept was unconstitutional and required states to integrate their public schools. This decision is now seen as the launching point for the modern civil rights movement.

56._________________________________- The son of Eugene, he was elected governor after his father died before he could serve his 4th term. After the controversy of the 1946 election he was elected in the special 1948 election and again in 1950. Like his father, Herman was a segregationist who resisted the changes required by the Brown v. Board of Education decision.

57.__________________________MAYS - African-American minister and president of Morehouse College in Atlanta. He was an influential leader whose students including Martin Luther King, Jr.

58.________________________________ - Became one of the principal leaders of the civil rights movement when he proposed a boycott of the bus company the refused Rosa Parks a seat in Montgomery, Alabama. His “I Have a Dream” speech is an American classic and 1964 won the Nobel Peace Prize, the youngest recipient ever. He was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee in 1968.

59._____________________ (YEAR) State Flag - in 1955, a Georgia politician proposed changing the Georgia state flag to include the Confederate Battle Flag as a way of demonstrating Georgia’s opposition to the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education ruling. The General Assembly agreed in 1956. The flag was changed again in 2001 in a controversial decision. One side viewed the flag as inherently racist and the other as celebrating Georgia’s heritage.

60. Admission of _____________________Holmes and

____________________ Hunter to the University of Georgia - Holmes and Hunter were the first two African-American students to go to UGA. Hunter’s dormitory was the scene of many riots against her attendance. It has since been renamed the Hunter-Holmes Academic Building.

61. Mayor _____________________Hartsfield - Longest-serving mayor (1937-1961) in Atlanta’s history. While mayor, Atlanta became known as “the city, too busy to hate.” Atlanta grew to a million people under his tenure. He promoted the aviation industry. When he died Atlanta’s airport was named for him. (Hartsfield-Jackson)

62. Mayor ______________________Allen, Jr. - Mayor of Atlanta during the turbulent 60’s, he was a liberal that helped to end discrimination in Atlanta’s public services. He helped to bring the Hawks and the Falcons to Atlanta.
