Sommario/riassunto

In 1896 the US Supreme Court upheld "equal but separate accommodations for the white and coloured races" on all passenger railways in Louisiana. This account traces the roots of that landmark case in post-Civil War America, focusing on its constitutional, legal and intellectual implications.
