Co-founder of @FearlessFund @ArianSimone calls on Biden to protect DEI efforts after a court ruling halts their grant program for Black women entrepreneurs: "We need an executive order... We cannot just rely on the court systems. We need elected officials to state and put pen to paper to say where they stand on the issue of diversity, equity, and inclusion."

The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that the government must cover millions in overhead costs for Native American tribes managing their own health care programs! This is a WIN for our Native brothers and sisters who without it would have faced a gap in funding! https://t.co/3Bxukhp9ZZ

[AFRICAN & BLACK HISTORY @AfricanArchives]

On this day in 1892, Homer Plessy was arrested for refusing to leave a whites-only railroad car in Louisiana. This incident led to the landmark Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson in 1896, which upheld the constitutionality of racial segregation under the "separate but equal" doctrine.

—On May 18, 1896, the U.S. Supreme Court, with only one dissenting vote, ruled that segregation in America was constitutional.

The Supreme Court upheld Plessy v. Ferguson. This “separate but equal” Louisiana decree marked the formal beginning of Jim Crow Laws and an end to Reconstruction.

The Plessy case grew out of a careful strategy to test the legality of a Louisiana law passed in 1890 that required railroads to maintain separate train cars for Blacks and Whites. In September 1891, a group of Blacks in New Orleans, Louisiana, formed “The Citizens Committee to Test the Constitutionality of the Separate Car Law," and raised $3,000 to mount a formal challenge to segregation in Louisiana. Albion Tourgee, then the nation’s best-known White advocate of Black legal rights, agreed to argue the case free of charge.

In June 1892, Homer A. Plessy bought a first-class ticket on the East Louisiana Railroad and sat in the car designated for Whites only. Plessy was of mixed African and European ancestry, and he looked white. The Citizen’s Committee wanted to challenge the segregation law in court, so it alerted railroad officials that Plessy would be sitting in the Whites only car, although he was partly of African descent. Plessy was arrested and brought to court for arraignment before Judge John H. Ferguson of the U.S. District Court in Louisiana. Plessy then attempted to halt the trial by suing Ferguson because the segregation law was unconstitutional. This set up the legal question argued and won four years later in Plessy v. Ferguson."
