A small group of individuals who were considered to be black, decided to fight out against the law by using a man by the name of Homer Plessy to be almost like a test subject for them. He was seven-eights European decent and one-eighth African american and was considered black under Louisiana law. Plessy then bought a first class ticket at the Press Street Depot and boarded as whites only. The Railway was against the law due to the fact that it would require them to buy more rail cars. They were  informed of Plessy's actual race. There was a detective that had the authority to detain Plessy and when Plessy sat in a  seat for whites only and was asked to move and did no, he was detained immediately.

The argument was that this law was unconstitutional and went against the constitution and the 14th amendment. The court ruled that the doctrine is separate but equal. It basically means that segregation doesn't constitute unlawful discrimination. Plessy ended up losing the case and had to pay a $25 fee. Plessy legitimized the laws of the state that established racial segregation in the south.]]> 2017-03-30 17:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/m_j_ryan724/iejoldrfdhqr/wish/163782935 https://padlet.com/m_j_ryan724/iejoldrfdhqr/wish/163784917
