This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The inspiring story of how Keith Plessy and Phoebe Ferguson, descendants of key figures in the infamous Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, have come together to fight for racial equality. Keith Plessy and Phoebe Ferguson were both born in New Orleans in 1957. Sixty-five years earlier, in 1892, a member of each of their families met in a Louisiana courtroom when Judge John Howard Ferguson found that Homer Plessy could be charged with breaking the law by sitting in a train car for white passengers. The case of Plessy v. Ferguson went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled that “separate-but-equal” was constitutional, sparking decades of unjust laws and discriminatory attitudes. In Together, Amy Nathan threads the personal stories of Keith and Phoebe into the larger history of the Plessy v. Ferguson case, race relations, and civil rights movements in New Orleans and throughout the U.S. This second edition includes a new epilogue describing a triumph that occurred a year after the first edition was published. In 2022, the Plessy and Ferguson Foundation, which was created by Keith and Phoebe in 2009 to change the legacy of the case that links their families, worked with a legal team and won a posthumous pardon for Homer Plessy. Includes black and white photos throughout.

Download or read book The Other Me written by Kerry Keene and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upon reaching middle age and the occasion of a milestone birthday, Darrell Duplissey reflects on his life up to that point. He ponders what he has accomplished in his first half-century and comes to the rather depressing, disheartening conclusion that he has been a classic underachiever. In his teens and early twenties, he believed he was destined for success as a performer in the music business. As the decades went on, none of his dreams turned into reality. The recurring theme seemed to be that he was never quite able to follow through to successful conclusions in any of his various endeavors. By chance, it’s on his birthday, while working at a psychiatric facility, he has the occasion to meet a newly admitted patient, a former college professor and scientist who will ultimately change the course of Darrell’s life. The two men from significantly different backgrounds surprisingly find they had much in common and develop an unlikely friendship. After his discharge from the facility, the professor reveals his remarkable invention in his basement laboratory to Darrell, and the two ultimately collaborate on a groundbreaking journey.

Download or read book Plessy v Ferguson written by Thomas J. Davis and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2012-07-19 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than the story of one man's case, this book tells the story of entire generations of people marked as "mixed race" in America amid slavery and its aftermath, and being officially denied their multicultural identity and personal rights as a result. Contrary to popular misconceptions, Plessy v. Ferguson was not a simple case of black vs. white separation, but rather a challenging and complex protest for U.S. law to fully accept mixed ancestry and multiculturalism. This book focuses on the long struggle for individual identity and multicultural recognition amid the dehumanizing and depersonalizing forces of African American slavery-and the Anglo-American white supremacy that drove it. The book takes students and general readers through the extended gestation period that gave birth to one of the most oft-mentioned but widely misunderstood landmark law cases in U.S. history. It provides a chronology, brief biographies of key figures, primary documents, an annotated bibliography, and an index all of which provide easy reading and quick reference. Modern readers will find the direct connections between Plessy's story and contemporary racial currents in America intriguing.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "We, as freemen, still believe that we were right and our cause is sacred." --Statement of the Comitï¿1/2 des Citoyens, 1896 2004 FINALIST AMERICAN BAR ASSOCIATION'S SILVER GAVEL BOOK AWARD "An excellent complement to the scholarly works of Charles A. Lofgren, Otto H. Olsen, and Brook Thomas, this remarkable read is recommended for public and academic library collections." --Library Journal In June 1892, a thirty-year-old shoemaker named Homer Plessy bought a first-class railway ticket from his native New Orleans to Covington, north of Lake Pontchartrain. The two-hour trip had hardly begun when Plessy was arrested and removed from the train. Though Homer Plessy was born a free man of color and enjoyed relative equality while growing up in Reconstruction-era New Orleans, by 1890 he could no longer ride in the same carriage with white passengers. Plessy's act of civil disobedience was designed to test the constitutionality of the Separate Car Act, one of the many Jim Crow laws that threatened the freedoms gained by blacks after the Civil War. This largely forgotten case mandated separate-but-equal treatment and established segregation as the law of the land. It would be fifty-eight years before this ruling was reversed by Brown v. Board of Education. Keith Weldon Medley brings to life the players in this landmark trial, from the crusading black columnist Rodolphe Desdunes and the other members of the Comitï¿1/2 des Citoyens to Albion W. Tourgee, the outspoken writer who represented Plessy, to John Ferguson, a reformist carpetbagger who nonetheless felt that he had to judge Plessy guilty.

Download or read book Dictionary of French Family Names in North America written by Marc Picard and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-09-10 with total page 745 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dictionary contains data not only on the origins of French surnames in Québec and Acadia, a great many of which eventually spread to many parts of North America, but also on those which arrived in the United States directly from various French-speaking European and Caribbean countries. In addition to providing the etymology of the original surnames, it also lists the multifarious variants that have developed over the last four centuries. A unique feature of this work in comparison to other onomastics dictionaries is the inclusion of genealogical information on most of the Francophone migrants to this continent, something which has been rendered possible not only by the excellent record-keeping in French Canada since the very beginnings of the colony, but also through the explosion of such data on the internet in the last couple of decades. In sum, this dictionary serves the dual purpose of providing information on the meanings of French family names on the North American continent, as well as on the migrants who brought them there.

Download or read book To Love and Die in Dallas written by Mary Elizabeth Goldman and published by Forge Books. This book was released on 2008-07-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rich in both "rowdy" and big city sophistication, Dallas is a city of paradox. It's a city with attitude where men don't walk, they "stride," women with "big hair" speak with a distinct drawl because they want to. It's a city that has experienced, endured, thrived, and even capitalized on the reputation and scars of assassinations, protests, and murder. To Love and Die in Dallas unfolds through the pages of ill-gotten diary that recalls the teenage years of four best friends. It recalls a time of innocence when Dallas teenagers were bopping at sock-hops to the tunes of Buddy Holly and Jerry Lee Lewis, cruising around White Rock Lake, and hanging out at the drive-in on Garland Road. But time changes everything. It is now the twenty-first century and those carefree teenagers are the power players in Dallas. The murder of one of the friends, Lindsay "Rose" Mitchell, the wife of US Senator James "Buddy" Mitchell turns Dallas high society upside down. Her funeral brings the three best friends back together again, where they vow to find out what really happened. But some stones are better left unturned. Each one of them has deep secrets and they soon realize that anyone of them could be a suspect. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Download or read book The Duplissey Family written by Bobby Duplissey and published by . This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is said that the Duplissey's were supposed to have been aristocrats, that were run out of France during the French Revolution. They had to leave or be killed. They went to the island of Saint Domingue (Haiti), which was owned by France. This area had large plantations with many slaves. Sometime in the l 790s, there was a slave uprising. The Duplisseys and many other whites were forced out when the slaves took over Saint Domingue (Haiti). In the old family history, passed down from generation to generation, it is said that two Duplissey brothers ( who were twins) and their mother left Saint Domingue aboard a ship. Some have said it was Jean Laffite's ship. They landed somewhere on the coast of Louisiana, and possibly in New Orleans. So far I have not verified this. I do know that they lived and conducted business in New Orleans, St. Charles Parish, and St. John the Baptist Parish.
