Henry Billings Brown Henry Billings Brown was an Associate Judge of the Supreme Court. Graduating from Yale in 1856 with a law degree, Brown would move to Detroit, Mi where he would start a sucessful law career. Brown would become well known and in 1875, was nominated to a seat on the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. Brown held this job for the next 15 years while also serving as a law professor at the University of Michigan. In 1890, Brown resigned his position on the District Court to accept a seat on the Supreme Court. He was nominated as an Associate Justice by President Benjamin Harrison. Browns tenure on the bench is known for his role in one case. Brown wrote the majority rule for Plessy v Ferguson. Homer Plessy was a black citizen in Louisiana who boarded a train on the East Louisiana Railroad. Louisiana state law requires that whites and black citizens be required seperate buildings, or in this case, railroad car. Plessy set on a white bench in one of the cars and refused to move. He was the arrested. Plessy sued Louisiana but Judge John Ferguson ruled in favor of Louisiana because of a state law. Plessy took the case to the Supreme Court. Plessy used the 13th and 14th Amendments to argue his case. Plessy would win the decision but only because Louisiana didnt have the proper amenities. Brown and the court decided that under law, each state can choose not to segregate their buildings or amenities. But by Federal Law, it is required that each state, if they do not segregate, they are required to offer the same amenites for both races. After, the case, Plessy still had to pay his fine but the courts ruling would be the first step in helping the south segragate. In 1906, Brown resigned from the bench and returned to Detroit to resume his law practice. He is buried at Elmwood Cemetery in Detroit, Mi. what color is your parachute? (project 365 - day 106) i bought a whole bunch of books from amazon recently, relating to job hunting, resumes, career changing, interviews. it's easier to update your resume and look for a job if you're staying within the same line of work. but if you're changing careers, it's a whole other ballgame. transferable skills are key. anyone can change careers, no matter how old you are, and i think it's really empowering and refreshing. did you know that the average person changes careers from 2 to 7 times in their lifetime? not positions, but actual careers. that means you can go from being a dog catcher (do they still exist? or are they just in cartoons?) to a lawyer to a teacher to a marketing exec to whatever your heart wants to be. i think one of the keys to being happy in life is finding work that you're passionate about. that you wake up everyday and you're excited to go to work, so much that it doesn't even feel like work. that sounds like an amazing feeling.
