Episode notes

Did you know the arrest at the center of Plessy v. Ferguson was planned? In this Voices of Life episode, we break down how Homer Plessy, the Citizens’ Committee, and a railroad detective worked together to create a test case that would challenge segregation laws in 1892.

We explore the fall of Reconstruction, the rise of Jim Crow, the Supreme Court’s “Separate but Equal” doctrine, and Justice Harlan’s powerful dissent that still echoes today. This is the story of how one engineered moment shaped civil rights for generations.
