These pictures are all to do with racial segregation cases in the United States Supreme Court.
1.) The picture of the National Archives building – Destiny Pediment, is the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington D.C. where all of these cases took place.
2.) The picture with the 12 on it stands for when the Civil Rights Act was passed. The Civil Rights Act was passed TWICE, which mandated an end to racial segregation in public accommodations. In 1875, the Civil Rights Act was struck down by the Supreme Court during the Civil Rights Cases ruling in 1883. It was finally passed in 1964.

They ruled the Bill of Rights did not apply to African Americans, so he lost his case, but when the 14th amendment came along, it made it the law.

Plessy was taken off of the first class car, that he paid to be on, and forced into a blacks-only car. Going to the U.S. Supreme Court, he argued that his rights under the 13th and 14th amendment were violated. Plessy lost due to the court ruling no rights were violated,

A Brief Note On Safe Skies

Starting my pilot training, I had to complete ground school before I was allowed to have actual flight time. Our materials covered weather patterns, airman laws, flight minimums, aerodynamics, and radio communications. Radio communications by far was the hardest subject. A pilot has to communicate every move they intend to do. Holding at an intersection, crossing an active runway, every turn in a flight pattern! I thought this subject was impossible to learn.
