Image Description: | New Orleans, Louisiana - A mural by Ayo Scott honors Homer Plessy and the civil rights movement. Plessy was arrested on this spot in 1892 for refusing to move from a "whites only" railroad car. His case went to the Supreme Court, where in Plessy v. Ferguson the court ruled in 1896 that "separate but equal" was constitutional. |
