Answer:

The Supreme Court's decision affirmed a Louisiana state statute that provided "equal but separate accommodations for white and colored races." Homer Plessy, who is seven-eighths white, was arrested when he sat in the whites-only car. He claimed that Louisiana's segregation statute violated both the 13th Amendment's prohibition of slavery and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
