File:Plessy_marker-back.jpg|thumb|right|Back of the marker placed Feb. 12, 2009 recalling the arrest of Homer Plessy for violating Louisiana's segregationist 1890 Separate Car Act. His act of civil disobedience was planned by the Comité des Citoyens (Committee of Citizens) (1891-96). They financed Plessy's legal challenge. Committee members were Arthur Esteves, C.C. Antoine, Firmin Chrisophe, C.G. Johnston, Paul Bonseigneur, Laurent Auguste, Rudolph B. Baquie, Rudolphe L. Desdunes, Louis A. Martinet, Numa E. Mansion, L.J. Joubert, Frank Hall, Noel Bachus, George Geddes and A.E. P. Albert. John Howard Ferguson, born in 1838 in Martha's Vineyard, MA., appointed judge in Section A of the Orleans Parish Criminal Court in 1892, ruled against Plessy in November, 1892. He is buried in Lafayette Cemetery in New Orleans.
