About this Blog
During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Plessy v. Ferguson-- History Channel Overview
This History Channel article about Plessy provides relevant information regarding the formulation of the "separate but equal" doctrine. It helped me remember contextual details that, in turn, helped me to further understand Allen's point about the segregationist hijacking of the phrase "separate and equal".
