    PLESSY V. FERGUSON RULING: WHO IS TO BLAME?

    07/07/2026 | 52 min
    Who’s to blame for the Plessy v. Ferguson Ruling?
    This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) discusses the devastating decision in the US Supreme Court's Plessy v. Ferguson case which solidified the infamous American era of Jim Crow laws and the doctrine of “Separate but equal.” Was this due to the failure of Reconstruction?

Fact Checker Faryn Einhorn and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
