      Homer Plessy, the namesake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1896 “separate but equal” ruling, is being considered for a posthumous pardon. Plessy, a Creole man of color, was arrested in New Orleans for refusing to leave a whites-only train car in 1892.http://apne.ws/ePWjWfg

          CORRECTS: A Louisiana board has voted to posthumously pardon Homer Plessy, namesake of the U.S. Supreme Court’s 1896 “separate but equal” ruling. Gov. John Bel Edwards has final say over the pardon.http://apne.ws/RZ6hXyo

          @CNN @washingtonpost @MSNBC @nytimes @HuffPost @chicagotribune Right thing to do. We can still right some of the wrongs of the past. If you have a law abiding loved one that was unjustly convicted with a racist Jim Crow law, it is time to fight it & have their memory honoured.

          So all the innocent folks who are in jail now just have to die and wait till their cases are posthumously re-investigated and they TOO WILL GET JUSTICE....good ..good
