In 1896, the United States Supreme Court declared in Plessy v. Ferguson that the doctrine of “separate but equal” was constitutional. In 1954, the United States Supreme Court overturned that decision and ruled unanimously against school segregation. For this week’s assignment you will be looking at the American Yawp sections for “The Affluent Society”. Read through this document and answer the questions below. You should answer the questions completely and concisely. Submission guidelines at bottom.

Questions: 1. In what way did the 1954 Brown decision by the Supreme Court mark a
departure from its previous course? In what way did it not? Provide examples. 2. What about the social and political environment of the 1950s was different
from the 1890s? Like why did this happen 58 years later vs the time in which segregation was initially instituted?
3. What does the case show about the changing cultural and political climate in the U.S.? What were the push backs against desegregation and by whom? Explain the concept of massive resistance and the Southern Manifesto (these must be discussed for credit).
