2:00Now PlayingA devastating wrong was corrected in Louisiana on Wednesday, as Gov. John Bel Edwards posthumously pardoned Homer Plessy.
Plessy was arrested in 1892 for refusing to leave a whites-only railroad car in protest of racial segregation, sparking the Supreme Court landmark decision known as Plessy v. Ferguson, which cemented “separate but equal” into law. He died with the conviction still on his record. “BNC Live” host Tashanea is joined by correspondent Jamiese Price, who is live from the very spot Plessy was arrested over a century ago.
