Following the abolition of slavery in the United States, African-Americans hoped to join American society as equal citizens. However, blacks were regarded as second-class citizens, and many laws and personal practices separated them from whites in public facilities, schools, the workplace, and more in both the North and the South. The 1896 Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson ruled that racially separate facilities, if equal, did not violate the Constitution. Segregation was implemented in the federal government offices during President Wilson’s first term, and was an issue that stirred much debate and controversy.
