 Can You Believe It!?! Separate But Equal, Plessy V. Ferguson
The fact that Homer was 7/8 white and 1/8 fl didn't seem to matter to the majority of the high court.
Homer's suit was to prevent Judge Ferguson (the trial judge in New Orleans where Plessy was found guilty in the first place) from carrying out Homer's sentence - a $25 fine or 20 days in jail.
In a shocking decision, (this link takes you to the original Judgment*) the court's opinion endorsed the idea of "separate but equal." It would be interesting to ask one of those justices today how he thought fls could make sure their "separate" facilities would be "equal" to those of whites.

 Homer Plessy Biography from Who2.com
Homer Plessey was the man in the middle of the 1896 Supreme Court ruling that confirmed the rule of "separate but equal" in U.S. law.
By 1896 the case had gone all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld the legality of Judge Ferguson's ruling by an 8-1 majority.
The finding confirmed the doctrine of "separate but equal" -- the notion that segregation was legal as long as both fls and whites had equal facilities.

 Louisiana Purchase
In March 1892, Homer Adolph Plessy, a light-skinned New Orleans fl man who was actively involved in the civil rights movement, purchased a ticket on the East Louisiana Railroad, sat in a whites-only coach, and refused to move.
In the criminal suit that resulted, Judge John H. Ferguson upheld Louisiana's segregation law, and Plessy appealed the ruling to the Louisiana State Supreme Court, housed in the Cabildo, which also ruled against Plessy, stating that his rights had not been violated.
When the United States Supreme Court decided the case in 1896, they upheld the state's ruling in favor of Ferguson, thereby sanctioning the doctrine of "separate but equal" and legalizing segregation in the United States for more than the next fifty years.
