Description

Associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1891 to 1906. Although a respected lawyer and U.S. District Judge before ascending to the high court, Brown (1836–1913) is harshly criticized for writing the majority opinion in Plessy v. Ferguson, widely regarded as one of the most ill-considered decisions ever issued by the Court, which upheld the legality of racial segregation in public transportation. Neat ink signature, "Henry B. Brown, Asso. Just. Sup. Ct. U.S., April 1895,” on an off-white 4.25 x 2.75 card. In fine condition. Encapsulated and graded by PSA/DNA as "NM-MT 8."
