Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

The first six decades of the 21st century should have been filled with infinitely more promise and progress in race relations, & they would have been had slavery and segregation given way to equality and freedom as a plain reading of the 13th and 14th Amendments required. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org

Gov. John Bel Edwards @LouisianaGov

Today, I signed Louisiana’s first posthumous pardon of Mr. Homer A. Plessy, who was convicted of violating Louisiana’s Separate Car Act of 1890, the purpose of which was to ensure racial segregation as a means to promote white supremacy. 📰: https://t.co/M9MVfNvuIJ #lagov https://t.co/62RNJ7czSM — PolitiTweet.org

Instead, the 1896 Plessy decision ordained segregation for the explicit purpose of declaring and perpetuating white supremacy, as immoral and factually erroneous as that was —and is. #lagov — PolitiTweet.org
