Okay, so today, I was on my way back from visiting my Grandma Lucy in New Orleans, and this white man came into our train. Somehow, the conducter accused Mr. Plessy of being black, and MR. Plessy admitted to being only 1/8th black. I felt bad for the poor man. He looked like a nice man. I felt even worse when the conducter came and told him that he had to move into the Colored People car. I don't care about the whole "separate but equal" thing, but apparently, the rest of the train did. They kept giving him nasty looks, and would whisper about him behind his back. I felt so sorry, i almost wanted to shout that he should be aloud to sit here, and it's not fair, but all i could do was hold back tears. I hope he does okay in court. :( okay, I'm signing off!
