Kentucky New Era 3 13 03 - Niggers in the White House - (Newspaper Advertisement)
This poem was printed in a number of newspapers across the country after Booker T Washington's visit to the White House. It resurfaced in later years in subsequent visits by African-Americans to the White House. Confronting 21stC students with this must be done with care.

Plessy v. Ferguson :: 163 U.S. 537 (1896) :Opinion of the Court
Text of the opinion itself. Students would be better served by a quote from the opinion than a teacher's bullet point description on a lecture slide
The argument also assumes that social prejudices may be overcome by legislation, and that equal rights cannot be secured to the negro except by an enforced commingling of the two races. We cannot accept this proposition. If the two races are to meet upon terms of social equality, it must be the result of natural affinities, a mutual appreciation of each other's merits, and a voluntary consent of individuals.
<p>If the civil and political rights of both races be equal, one cannot be inferior to the other civilly </p> <p><a id="552" href="#552">[552</a>]</p> <p> or politically. If one race be inferior to the other socially, the Constitution of the United States cannot put them upon the same plane.</p>

How Woodrow Wilson’s racist policies eroded the Black civil service | Haas News | Berkeley Haas
Any argument referencing "systematic" racism would be well-served by research into the segregation of the federal workforce during the Wilson administration. Census data shows a significant wage gap and suppression of black home-ownership resulting from federally sanctioned segregation and discrimination

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.

The Emma Goldman Papers
The Emma Goldman Papers
Emma Goldman (1869–1940) stands as a major figure in the history of American radicalism and feminism. An influential and well-known anarchist of her day, Goldman was an early advocate of free speech, birth control, women's equality and independence, and union organization. Her criticism of mandatory conscription of young men into the military during World War I led to a two-year imprisonment, followed by her deportation in 1919. For the rest of her life until her death in 1940, she continued to participate in the social and political movements of her age, from the Russian Revolution to the Spanish Civil War.

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.
