Constitution Day discussion, Sept. 17

Constitution Day discussion, Sept. 17

In honor of Constitution Day, the Black Abolitionist Archive and the McNichols Campus Library will sponsor a talk about the 1896 Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson. This event is on Tuesday, Sept. 17 during dead hour (12:45 to 1:45 p.m.) in the Student Union Presidents Dining Room. The famous court case Plessy v. Ferguson made segregation the law of the land until 1954. A new book, Separate, opens new insights on this case. Professor of History Roy E. Finkenbine will speak on the subject, allowing time for a group discussion. Refreshments will be served.
