The excerpt is most likely from the dissenting opinion in the case of Plessy v. Ferguson. This case dealt with racial segregation laws for public facilities under the doctrine of "separate but equal." The dissenting opinion, written by Justice John Marshall Harlan, argued against the constitutionality of racial segregation and emphasized personal liberty regardless of race.
