And we still continue have a racist issue in this country whites love to hate but those who are hated continue to sit around and trust THEM for a change of heart. The race situation will never change in the USA unless stringent laws are created for racist. I believe in liberty but there are alot of flaws in being liberated it allows the hate to continue.
Godbless to all
Cool, can we get Mr. Plessy a statue form?
Writing the wrongs is just so refreshing. I know his family must feel so relieved to have this scar on their family removed.
Justice takes time but still taste so sweet.

That man has been dead for almost 200 years… Sheesh 💀
I think you’re a little too late there Governor. The dude died quite a long time ago.
WATCH PASTORS PERSPECTIVE FEBRUARY 23, 2021 YOU WILL SMILE 😄💕
The Republican-led state of Louisiana has the highest per-capita murder rate for the 32nd straight year in a row.
The governer is a disgrace to the white race 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
For some change may come late. But for others late or not is right on time. There must be someone in the family that will accept this pardon even a friend on their behalf. Thank God for it!
I mean good glad but this is completely a publicity stunt…it’s not like they ACTUALLY care about these people
I wonder how many of the commenters know anything about who Homer A. Plessy was? It was an awful US Supreme Court decision. Decided May, 1986 Subsequently overturned by Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), and subsequent rulings. Plessy v. Ferguson. As per Wiki,:”The case began in 1892 when Homer Plessy, a mixed-race resident of New Orleans, deliberately violated Louisiana's Separate Car Act of 1890, which required "equal, but separate" railroad accommodations for white and non-white passengers. Plessy was charged with boarding a "whites-only" car, and his lawyers defended him at trial by arguing that the law was unconstitutional. Plessy lost at trial, and the conviction was sustained by the Louisiana Supreme Court. He then appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court” and that Court invented the “separate but equal” concept for half of the 20th century.
A very good man!
Really did pardon H.Plessy??? Like he committed a crime or offense?..what he should do was declare that law abolish, nule, as every human being is equal and free-I do understand the time frame when that "law was law" as when Hitler laws was laws…we should correct our past not pardon the victims of these kind of laws
Isn't he like 125 years old? I think I appreciate the thought, but sheesh. I feel quite sad…. and confused
Who really cares his family is like 4 generation five generations in now they don't know who this dude is this guy just wants a photo op
Over 100 years too late
The abuse of our rights, and lack thereof in the present day make Jim Crow look like a joke
All I have to say on this is that human beings are strange creatures.
A day late and a dollar short . ⚰
Take your pardon and push it up your arse. The damage has occurred. Leave it there. Everything these people do ……..
Took 130 years for them to do this? pathetic.
Too little, too late. Tokenism
I know this means a lot for his family. Glad this was done.

Why? That’s the way things were back in the days. Just let it be. Our Nation changed its way.
Gotta be trying to draw attention from something worse…..
T** bag of tricks
I'm Scottish I can't keep up
looter worshiping is hilarious.
I bet he’s gonna have a big supper tonight. So proud of himself.
I’m sure he’s happy, almost 100 years later
To all libs… Go love yourself and let’s go Brandon, I agree!!!.
Shout out to George Floyd on 590 days of sobriety. It took some tough love but he did it. Say his name liberals!.
