Please do not overlook the damage that Plessy v. Ferguson has done to the African American community for generations; I'm glad Plessy will get a pardon, but what about the other people who were imprisoned, lynched and financially handicapped?
You really need to tell the story of the man behind the test case, Louis Andre Martinet. He was by turns a legislator, lawyer, medical doctor, member of the NOLA school board, Latin, French and medical school teacher and the leading figure in the comite des citoyens (although he refused to take an official title to allay fears that people would think he was somehow profiting from the test case). He is a much more significant player than Plessy whose role (according to Medley) “…consisted of four tasks: get the ticket, get on the train, get arrested, and get booked.” Plessy was not in any physical danger as the whole affair had been carefully staged, even to the point of the committee hiring a detective to arrest him (the railroad did not want to be sued which might have happened if their employee attempted to remove Plessy. Martinet on the other hand was threatened and at least one attempt was made on his life. Martinet’s work for equality did not end when the Plessy decision was made as he continued to press for equality, although the political and judicial climate turned vigorously against his efforts. He would be a much better person to profile…
Only one stood up for a thing know in philosophy for thousands of years. Equality is the goal of just societies. Without it you don't get Justice. You must seak Fraternity, or brotherhood to see toward Equality. In decisions: Justice.
He was a Black man who look white. He referred to himself as Black. Creole are black people who look white. It has always been been that way for himseedd
I am guessing it's because although the ruling was later overturned by Brown v Board of education you can't turn the clock back and Plessy did plead guilty. In other words probably a legal quirk.

The harvest has begun! (Matthew 13:30) "... repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand" (Matthew 3:1-2) God demands repentance from everyone, for "there is no righteous man on earth who does good and does not sin" (Eccl. 7:20)..." “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.”(Rom. 3:10-12). "And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be in the days of the Son of Man: they ate, drank, married, married, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed everyone. Just as it was in the days of Lot: they ate, drank, bought, sold, planted, built; but on the day that Lot left Sodom, a rain of fire and brimstone fell from heaven and destroyed everyone; so it will be on the day when the Son of Man appears. On that day, whoever is on the roof, and his things are in the house, do not go down to take them; and whoever is in the field, also do not turn back. Remember Lotova's wife. Whoever saves his soul will destroy it; and whoever destroys it will revive it. I tell you: that night there will be two on the same bed: one will take, and the other will remain; two will grind together: one will take, and the other will remain; two will be in the field: one will take, and the other will remain." (Luke 17:26-36) "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour at which the Son of Man will come." (Matthew 25:13) 10 And he said to me, Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is at hand. 11 Let the unrighteous still do unrighteousness; let the unclean still be defiled; let the righteous still do righteousness, and let the holy one be sanctified still. 12 Behold, I am coming soon, and my retribution is with me, to reward everyone according to his deeds. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the First and the Last. 14 Blessed are those who keep his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life and enter the city through the gates. 15 But outside are dogs, and sorcerers, and adulterers, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone who loves and does unrighteousness. 16 I, Jesus, have sent my angel to witness these things to you in the churches. I am the root and descendant of David, the bright and morning star. 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come! And let him who hears say: Come! Let him who is thirsty come, and let him who is willing take the water of life for free. 18 And I also testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds anything to them, God will put on him the plagues that are written in this book; 19 And if anyone takes away anything from the words of this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his participation in the book of life, and in the holy city, and in what is written in this book. 20 He who bears witness to this says, "To her, I am coming soon!" Amen. To her, come, Lord Jesus! 21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you all. Amen." (Revelation of John the Theologian, 22:10-21) "If we say that we have no sin- we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us." (1 John 1:8) "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out" (Acts 3:19)
A nice assemblage of quotes, but you glossed over a very important one "you shall not know the hour of his coming". Therefore you are being presumptuous to say that now is that time. Repent for sin of vainglory.
For I was dead, separated from God. Dead ppl can’t repent-I could be remorseful, for a spell. At his appointed time, God chose to be merciful; he gifted me His faith to believe in his Son. Faith is not of man for man to boast. God’s faith repents us-and takes us to the feet of Jesus. Jesus told us that no man comes to the Son unless God, the father, brings him.

Thank you Mr. Plessy.
Well that is good....but give the Plessy family the $25 fine back with interest..that would complete the justice and the healing.
That would be about $823 today.
His family waits more than a century for his conviction to be overturned. The patience for justice is truly remarkable. Bravo!
What justice he’s dead they should have just moved on from it
