Plessy's action ultimately led to the Plessy v. Ferguson decision by the United States Supreme Court, which affirmed the legality of "separate-but-equal" facilities.
Homer Adolph Plessy (March 17, 1862 – March 1, 1925) was the American Creole plaintiff in the United States Supreme Court decision in Plessy v. Ferguson.
Although the United States Supreme Court ruled against Plessy in 1896, their arguments produced Justice John Marshall Harlan’s "Great Dissent".
