What law did the US Supreme Court uphold in 1896?
Act 111, Louisiana's Separate Car Act of 1890, which required racial segregation in intrastate (inside Louisiana) railway travel. The statute required railroad companies to provide "separate but equal" accommodations for Caucasian and African-American travelers.
What parts of the US Constitution did Homer Plessy believe the Separate Car Act violated?
Homer Plessy, a member of the New Orleans' Citizens' Committee that organized challenges to segregation laws, deliberately violated Louisiana's Separate Car Act of 1890.The Separate Car Act required railroad companies traveling within the state of Louisiana to provide separate travel accommodations for whites and African-Americans, preventing the races from co-mingling.Plessy bought a first-class ticket to travel on the East Louisiana Railroad with the intention of sitting in the coach designated for white people.When the conductor walked through the "whites-only" car, he stopped to examine Plessy's first-class ticket, and asked whether the man was black or white. Plessy replied that he was black, but refused to remove himself to the African-American car. The Citizens' Committee had hired a private detective to ensure Plessy was detained; the detective took Plessy to the New Orleans' Parish jail.Under ordinary circumstances, Plessy would not have been questioned about sitting in the white car because he had no identifiable African-American features. The Citizens' Committee and the railroad company conspired to create a test case challenging the Separate Car Act because both wanted the Act repealed (the railroad primarily for economic reasons).
Did the President veto the Separate Car Act of 1890?
No, President Benjamin Harrison lacked authority to veto the Louisiana Separate Car Act of 1890 (Act 111) because it was a Louisiana State law. The President can only veto acts of Congress (federal law).The only way the federal government could intervene was if someone appealed the law as unconstitutional before the US Supreme Court, which is what occurred in Plessy v. Ferguson, (1896). Unfortunately, the Court held the law was constitutional.

What was the plessy v Ferguson impact?
In 1896, Homer Plessy was recruited by an African American civil rights activist group with the intent of challenging the constitutionality of the Louisiana Separate Car Act (Act 111). As a man of one-eighth African descent, Plessy could manage to purchase a first class ticket while also remain in danger of being arrested under the Separate Car act. However, the US Supreme Court did not rule in favor of Plessy. Instead, the Court (with a 7-1 decision) said that the Separate Car Act in no way implied that African Americans were inferior (which would have been in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment), and that there was no difference in quality between "Black only" cars and White cars. Plessy v. Ferguson was a landmark case that upheld the constitutionality of "separate but equal".Case Citation:Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896)For more information, see Related Questions, below.
