from Plessy v. Ferguson, 1896
The destinies of the two races, in this country, are... linked together, and the interests of both require that the common government of
all shall not permit the seeds of race hate to be planted under the sanction of law. What can more certainly arouse race hate, what more
certainly create and perpetuate a feeling of distrust between these races, than state enactments which, in fact, proceed on the ground
that colored citizens are so inferior and degraded that they cannot be allowed to sit in public coaches occupied by white citizens? That,
as all will admit, is the real meaning of such legislation as was enacted in Louisiana.
