Homer Plessy was born on March 17, 1862 in New Orleans, Louisiana, he later became a shoemaker and started to grow fond of the Civil Rights Movement and became an activist like his father, which died not to long before Homer became an activist leaving his mother as a widow. Homer ended up marrying to Louise Bordenave and having three children. Homer was born 1/8 black, getting it from his Great- Grandmother, this infuriated Homer because he thought of himself as "white" with the same rights, this was not the case, on March 17, 1925 Homer was kicked off a railcar for sitting in the "whites" section even though he was mostly white 7/8. He later testified against this saying it was "unconstitutional" bringing it to court.

Homer Plessy was much like Herbert Norkus, who was at the time a young member of the Hitler Youth who served with bravery and loyalty, a tiny resemblance of Homer in my opinion ,because they both fought for something they believed in. Herbert later died during his service of passing out leaflets throughout a town, when he was jumped by a rivalry gang of communists who stabbed him six times leaving him dead on the streets. This story of Herbert reminded me of Homer who was arrested (like Rosa Parks) on a rail car for sitting in the "whites section" even though he was 1/8th black, in this historical story Homer reminds me of Herbert, and the whites/people who arrested him reminded me of the communists/gang who killed Herbert because of him being on a rivalry side, even though they both stood for completely opposite things they still went against people to follow through with their belief(s) even though there were consequences- Herbert in his case was death, and Homer with a overnight jail time and a fine of $500.

"Separate but Equal"
“The object of the Fourteenth Amendment was undoubtedly to enforce the absolute equality before the law . . .”

Even though Homer Plessy was only 1/8 black he was still considered unequal to the Jim Crow law, meaning he was segregated like every other black was back then. Which being of little heritage that is, it was still hard for someone of "color" or "colored" heritage to get jobs of sorts, going into slavery, voting, learning, etc, the point to all of these listings is because Homer Plessy was a major Civics Rights Movement activist and much like Martin Luther King Jr. he was black, and back in there day it was hard to get somewhere with that, but they became some of the most known people to live even with all the hardships they had with the Jim Crow Laws.
