Maryland Court Upheld Jim Crow Law Reversed for Interstate Passengers
The Maryland Court of Appeals sustained the Jim Crow act of 1904 but ruled it cannot apply to interstate passengers. William R Hart, a Washington, D C colored man, was involved in a case on a Philadelphia to Washington train. The court reversed lower court judgment on Hart while upholding the act’s validity within state commerce. The decision discusses concerns about public order and the treatment of interstate travelers under state law.
