Was Homer plessy a slave?
Homer Plessy was multi-ethnic and multi-cultural (Franco-American), because both of his parents had a mixture of African-American and Caucasian genes. In the 19th century, most people and all government bodies adhered to the "one-drop rule," which labeled anyone with at least one African-American ancestor black. Louisiana, where Plessy was born and lived his entire life, informally acknowledged degrees of ethnicity because there were many freemen in the State, and the practice of intermarriage was common. By Louisiana standards, Plessy was considered an "octoroon," or someone with one-eighth black ancestry. Plessy identified with his African-American heritage, but evaluated himself as appearing white.

Was Homer Plessy considered a citizen of the US?
Yes. Homer Plessy was born March 17, 1863. The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, conferred citizenship on all natural born people, with the specific intent of making African-Americans legal citizens of the United States and the individual states. Plessy grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana, a freeman by birth, in a city where intermarriage was accepted, the schools were integrated, and many African-Americans were well-educated professionals, vastly different from conditions in most parts of the South during that era.
