The plaintiff in the case, was seven-eighths white and one-eighth black, and had the appearance of a white man. On June 7, 1892, he purchased a first-class ticket for a trip between New Orleans and Covington, La., and took possession of a vacant seat in a white-only car. Duly arrested and imprisoned, Plessy was brought to trial in a New Orleans court and convicted of violating the 1890 law. He then filed a petition against the judge in that trial, Hon. John H. Ferguson, at the Louisiana Supreme Court, arguing that the segregation law violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, which forbids states from denying "to any person within their jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws," as well as the Thirteenth Amendment, which banned slavery.

Booker T. Washington: he was able to coalesce black intellectuals and middle class figures with white political and social activist sympathizers into a progressive force for the betterment of African American and the education and training of their elites. He founded the Tuskeegee Institute, one of the first institution of higher education for African Americans in the USA. He also secretly used funds to legally challenge and eliminate segregationist laws in the South.

Thurgood Marshall: he was the first African American justice of the Supreme Court. He won several cases as part of the Legal defense and Education Fund of the NACCP. His most resounding victory was Brown v. Board of Education in 1954, a case that effectively ended racial segregation in public schools.
