NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana’s governor on Wednesday posthumously pardoned Homer Plessy, the Black man whose arrest for refusing to leave a whites-only railroad car in 1892 led to the Supreme Court ruling that cemented “separate but equal” into U.S.
Plessy was arrested trying to board a "whites-only" train car. The Supreme Court's decision in Plessy v. Ferguson ushered in an era of laws that kept schools, housing and other venues segregated.
