Homer A. Plessy (March 17, 1863 - March 1, 1925) was the petitioner in the landmark US Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896), that legitimized the "separate but equal" doctrine used to discriminate against African-Americans. The Plessy ruling, combined with the Court's earlier decision in the Civil Rights Cases, 163 US 537 (1883), which repealed the Civil Rights Act of 1875, allowed Jim Crow laws to flourish across the country (most particularly in the Southern states). Plessy was finally overturned by Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954).Homer Plessy was 30 years old when he was arrested on June 7, 1892, for sitting in a whites-only railroad car, per the restrictions set by Louisiana's Separate Car Act of 1890. The East Louisiana Railroad Company, which also wanted the Separate Car Act repealed, conspired with the Citizens' Committee and Plessy to arrange Plessy's arrest so he would have standing to challenge the law in court.
