134 years ago, on the 7th of June 1892, Homer Plessy was arrested for refusing to leave his seat on a train, resulting in a court case hoping to challenge the segregationist laws. The case went to the US Supreme Court where Plessy lost, resulting in the 'separate but equal' doctrine. #otd #history 🗃️

PRESS STREET RAILROAD YARDS Site of the Arrest of Homer Adolph Plessy
On June 7, 1892. Homer Adolph Plessy was removed from the East Louisiana Railroad train and arrested by Detective C.C. Cain at the corner of Royal and Press St. He was charged with violating the 1890 Louisiana Separate Car Act that separated railroad passengers by race.
Plessy's act of civil disobedience was a test case organized by the Comité des Citoyens (Citizens' Committee) whose aim was to overturn segregation laws that were being enacted across the South. The philosophy and strategies of the Comité des Citoyens foreshadowed Civil Rights movements of the 20th century. Although the Supreme Court ruled against Plessy on May 18, 1896, his case marked the first post-Reconstruction use of the 14th Amendment's "equal protection" provision in a legal challenge to segregation. In their final statement after the Supreme Court verdict, the Comité des Citoyens proclaimed, "We as freemen still believe we were right and our cause is sacred...In defending the cause of liberty, we met with defeat but not with ignominy". Their position was vindicated when the Supreme Court upheld similar 14th Amendment arguments in the 1954 case of Brown v. Board of Education. (Continued on other side)

Who shapes the way history is taught in schools? AHA director of teaching and learning Brendan Gillis spoke with the Houston Chronicle about proposed changes to Texas social studies standards being pushed by groups outside the state. “What we're seeing in Texas is not homegrown history.” 🗃️

In April 1945, my grandfather wrote his young wife about an “enlightening & humorous” dinner with a pair of British former POWs— just a few days after he had the far more sobering experience of liberating a recently abandoned forced-labor camp at Buchenwald. That & more in my Memorial Day column! 🗃️

As we heard Trump announcing that he does not care about the law and he follows his own MORAL COMPASS, you can deduce why ICE acts unlawfully. They do not care what the law says.

A friend of mine is a cop who was once run over by a suspect’s car. I texted him and asked him to tell me that story again and if he’d mind sharing what he thought about the killing of Renee Good. He gave me permission to share with you what he texted back.
