We began with reviewing landmark Supreme Court decisions: Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896 that legalized racial segregation and Brown v. the Board of Education in 1954 that reversed the Plessy decision. We discussed the difference between de jure and de facto segregation and how de facto segregation continues to impact American society today. We then moved on to civil disobedience and the Civil Rights Movement. We discussed women and equal rights. We concluded with affirmative action and equal opportunity.
