Weekly Syllabus
Week of Monday, February
7 through Friday, February 11
This
week
we
will
accelerate quickly--we will skip about five chapters of
the textbook. Doing so will require you to pay close attention as
I will give you information on study guide terms relating to those
chapters. If you are confused at any time, ask questions!
We will also take a look at the Supreme Court case of Plessy v.
Ferguson,
which permitted racially based segregation for decades.

read the main link (the one that says "Plessy v. Ferguson" and is
underlined). You can also read the excerpts from the majority and
minority decisions, as you like. The main document is slightly over 10
pages long, but much of it will be familiar to you. Your goal is to be
conversant with the issues in the case.
