Note 1162 — AMENDMENT 14 (continued 5)

Reading edition

Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 U.S. 537 (1896). Cf. Morgan v. Virginia, 328 U.S. 373 (1946), where a State statute requiring segregation of passengers on interstate journeys was held to be an unlawful restriction on interstate commerce. See also Hall v. De Cuir, 95 U.S. 485 (1878), where a State law forbidding steamboats on the Mississippi to segregate passengers according to race was held unconstitutional under the commerce clause, and Bob-Lo Excursion Co. v. Michigan, 333 U.S. 28 (1948), where a Michigan statute forbidding discrimination was held valid as applied to an excursion boat operating on the Detroit River; and Henderson v. United States, 339 U.S. 816 (1950), where segregation in a dining car operated by an interstate railroad was held to violate a federal statute.
