It's over, it's all over. Plessy boarded the train and sat in the white only section. It was all going right, until people found out he was a person of color. Sure, he's only one-eighth colored, and could blend into any white crowd, but those white people see one drop of black blood and treat it like it's poisonous. So anyways, the conductor came over and asked him to move to the colored section. He refused, like planned, and thats where we ran into trouble. The railroad officials came over and arrested Plessy, charging him for violating the Separate Car Act. We'll just see about that. If those white folks think they can just make us back down, they're wrong. We're not going down without a fight.
