Answer: The state of Louisiana enacted a law that required separate railway cars for blacks and whites. In 1892, Homer Plessy--who was 1/8 black --took a seat in a "whites only" car of a Louisiana train. He refused to move to the car reserved for blacks and was arrested.
Explanation: The Supreme Court ruled that the "separate but equal" provision of the Louisiana law was constitutional.

After this ruling by the Supreme Court, Jim Crow Laws, laws that discriminated against African Americans, spread across the US and were heavily enforced in the South.
