This is the tomb of Homer Plessy. He went to court in the 1890's to fight segregation on trains. The US Supreme Court upheld the local law requiring segregation, and by extension all racial segregation laws across the country in Plessy versus Ferguson in 1896. This was not overturned until the 1950's.
