- Plessy v.Ferguson Case
- Louisiana enacted the Separate Car Act, which required separate railway cars for blacks and whites. In 1892, Homer Plessy – who was seven-eighths Caucasian – agreed to participate in a test to challenge the Act.He was solicited by the Comite des Citoyens (Committee of Citizens), a group of New Orleans residents who sought to repeal the Act. They asked Plessy, who was technically black under Louisiana law, to sit in a "whites only" car of a Louisiana train.
- yes your honor you see when he did that that violates are law that colored don't sit with the white so therefore is violated the trains law and the people that have those seats.
- Yes but the the railroad cooperated because it thought the Act imposed unnecessary costs via the purchase of additional railroad cars. When Plessy was told to vacate the whites-only car, he refused and was arrested.
- yes your honor we had to arrest him without a doubt so now you see my side he was protesting on something that dosen't make sense that it's only for whites.
