4.9/5 (31491 ratings)

Description:Keith Plessy and Phoebe Ferguson were both born in New Orleans in 1957. Sixty-five years earlier, in 1892, a member of each of their families met in a Louisiana courtroom when Judge John Ferguson found Homer Plessy guilty of breaking the law by sitting in a train car for white passengers. The case of Plessy v. Ferguson went all the way to the Supreme Court, where the justices ruled that "separate-but-equal" was constitutional, sparking decades of discriminatory laws across the South. In Coming Together, Amy Nathan threads the personal stories of Keith Plessy and Phoebe Ferguson into the larger history of race relations and civil rights movements in New Orleans and throughout the United States. She tells the inspiring story of how Keith and Phoebe came together to form the Plessy and Ferguson Foundation which aims to teach the history of the case and support those who continue to fight for their rights today.“An ambitious account of the legacies of Plessy and Ferguson . . . Undeniably timely and representative of the necessary work ahead.”—Kirkus Reviews“In this transparent and multi-dimensional account, Nathan astutely examines the historical context and consequences of the Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court case of 1896. Past and present are intertwined to provide a reflective space about race in America and the decisive action of advocates who fought and continue to fight for equal civil rights.”—School Library Journal"Nathan’s history of race in the South is detailed, honest, and multifaceted, and Phoebe and Keith’s story is inspiring. Together is an accessible multigenerational story that shows the importance of acknowledging the complicated past when building a stronger future."—Foreword ReviewsWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
