Homer Plessy
Homer Adolph Plessy, whose original name is Homère Adolphe Plessy, is a French-speaking Creole from Louisiana, best known for being the plaintiff in the United States Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson. Arrested, tried and sentenced in New Orleans for violating one of Louisiana's racist laws, he appealed in Louisiana state courts to the United States Supreme Court and lost. As a result, the "separate but equal" decision against him has had significant consequences for citizenship in the United States. The ruling legitimizes state-mandated discrimination across the United States as long as the foundations for blacks and whites are considered "equal." Homer Plessy is a free black man born into a free American family from Haiti and France. His parents are French-speaking Creoles, Haitian refugees fleeing the revolution.
