Plessy v Ferguson 1896 June 7, 1892 Homer Plessy boarded a Louisiana train and as a black man chose to sit in the whites-only car. This was not the first time a black person broke the law to try to change it nor would it be the last.

I think it is important to distinguish between the Dickerson and Miranda cases. Miranda was a state case, Dickerson was a Federal case. Congress enacted §3501 as a federal statute that in a nutshell addresses the “voluntariness” of a suspects statements, whether they were Mirandized or not. The Dickerson decision, which reversed a lower court’s decision, has caused much debate in the legal and academia communities as to whether the Supreme Court decided correctly. Many argue that Miranda was not constitutional based, but judicial common law, and §3501provides as much, or more protection to the accused.

The cases of Dred Scott vs. Sanford, Plessy vs. Ferguson, and Loving vs. Virginia all attempt to prove this point during the civil rights movement. These cases also make apparent the segregation of blacks in the court system. In 1864, the question of having freedom was brought into the courtroom by Dred and Harriet Scott in St. Louis City.
