Homer Plessy is set to be pardoned 125 years after Supreme Court's 'separate but equal' ruling

The Louisiana Board of Pardons has unanimously voted to pardon Homer Plessy. Plessy was arrested in 1892 after sitting in a 'whites-only' railroad car to protest discrimination and pleaded guilty to violating the Separate Car Act.
