There were many social and political factors that led to the Robert Charles riot of 1900. Robert Charles was a black man from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was a very quiet but hard working man.

Thus was required to sit in the "colored" car. On June 7, 1892, Plessy bought a first-class ticket and boarded the "whites only" car of the East Louisiana Railroad in Louisiana. He was immediately asked

case before the Supreme Court sided against the African American plaintiff fighting for equal rights. In this case the plaintiff, Homer Plessy was arguing his right to ride in a "white only" train car. Unfortunately, he lost his case in Plessy vs Ferguson. Decades later, another plaintiff, Oliver Brown, also took a case before the Supreme Court. Conversely, in this case, the Supreme Court sided with the plaintiff in Brown vs Board of Education.

These Amendments included but were not limited to the Thirteenth Amendment, which was ratified in 1865 and banned slavery in the United States

The Supreme Court Case of Plessy versus Ferguson in 1896 is one of the most known cases that later influenced future decisions of equality, race and freedom. The plaintiff Homer Adolph Plessy was born March 17, 1862 in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was a successful shoemaker who planned an act of civil disobedience against the system of racial segregation.
