Last two days of class 2/5 and 2/6

Yesterday in class we talked about the meaning of equal, and what it actually meant. We went through different scenarios and decided whether or not it was right to be "equal". We then talked about the Plessy v. Ferguson case which was about a black man named Plessy who was in a white-only train car and ended up getting arrested. Eventually he won the case though. Today in class we took some notes on the Jim Crow laws which basically segregated the whites and blacks in the south but still managed to keep them "equal". Then for the remainder of the class we met with our groups and talked about our RSA projects.
