Homer Plessy is a famous Black American primarily for his role in the landmark Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), which upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine. Plessy, who was of mixed race, deliberately challenged segregation laws by sitting in a "whites-only" train car, leading to his arrest. The case became a pivotal moment in civil rights history, as it legitimized state-sponsored segregation for decades until it was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. Plessy's actions and the subsequent ruling highlighted the systemic racism in American society and spurred future civil rights advocacy.
