Answer:

  • Lawyer who argued on behalf of black residents in Plessy v. Ferguson: Albion W. Tourgée
  • The Supreme Court invalidated most of the Civil Rights Act of 1875: The Civil Rights Cases
  • State laws that required separate but equal facilities for the races: Plessy v. Ferguson
  • Lone dissenting Supreme Court Justice in Plessy v. Ferguson: John Marshall Harlan

Explanation:

Although slavery was abolished after the Civil War, this did not mean that black Americans immediately achieved equality. In fact, many people opposed to equality so strongly that they tried to find ways in which this could be denied to African Americans, particularly in the South. Segregation was one of the ways in which this was achieved. Segregation refers to the practice of requiring separate housing, education or other services to people of a particular race. Segregation limited the opportunities for advancement of Black people.
