Berea College v. Kentucky (1908)
Berea College v. Kentucky (1908)
Can a private college in Kentucky accept both white and black students? The state of Kentucky said "No", and the Supreme Court upheld that law. In this decision, the Supreme Court upheld a Kentucky law entitled "An Act to Prohibit White and Colored Persons from Attending the Same School". Although Plessy v Ferguson gets most of the attention, this case also serves well to give students a better appreciation of the nature of discrimination before the modern Civil Rights movement.

The Souls of Black Folk, by W. E. B. DuBois (Book)
The Souls of Black Folk, by W. E. B. DuBois (Book)
The book, published in 1903, contains several essays on race, some of which had been previously published in Atlantic Monthly magazine. Du Bois drew from his own experiences to develop this groundbreaking work on being African-American in American society. Outside of its notable place in African-American history, The Souls of Black Folk also holds an important place in social science as one of the early works to deal with sociology.
