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.

Upton Sinclair - The Jungle
Upton Sinclair - The Jungle
Sinclair wrote the novel to highlight the plight of the working class and to show the corruption of the American meatpacking industry during the early-20th century. The novel depicts in harsh tones poverty, absence of social programs, unpleasant living and working conditions, and hopelessness prevalent among the working class, which is contrasted with the deeply-rooted corruption on the part of those in power.
