Homer Plessy was a key figure in the Civil Rights Movement, best known for his role in the landmark Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896. He challenged Louisiana's segregation laws by refusing to leave a "whites-only" railroad car, leading to his arrest. The case ultimately upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine, which legitimized Jim Crow laws for decades. Plessy's actions highlighted the systemic racism of the time and laid the groundwork for future civil rights activism.
