Plessy v. Ferguson
(Melville Fuller, 7-1, 1896) Homer Plessy (an octoroon) bought a first class ticket on the East Louisiana Railway. He sat in the whites-only car in violation of an 1890 Louisiana law mandating separate accommodations. He was convicted, but appealed to the Supreme Court against John Ferguson, a Louisiana judge. The court upheld the law provided that 'separate but equal' facilities were provided. John Marshall Harlan issued a famous dissent claiming 'Our constitution is color-blind.' Plessy was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education.
