The month of April brings the Old Ranger back to the microphone to discuss another Supreme Court decision, Plessy v. Ferguson. It was argued in April 1897—what some historians call the “worst decision in Supreme Court history.
We’ll hear how the Plessy Case made both segregation and discrimination “perfectly legal and enforceable” in this Country; how Southern States passed Jim Crow laws, that continued to discriminate against black people for the next 70 years. The result was an assault on voting rights in the form of poll taxes, literacy tests, voter ID laws and redistricting maps. The Old Ranger assures us we’ll all be on the edge of our seats.
And to top it off there will be quality music selections followed by some below average humor.
