What did Homer Plessy did for the people?

Homer Plessy was allegedly a shoemaker and Vice-President of Societe des Francs Amis (Society of French Friends), a social organization that paid medical and funeral expenses for dues-paying members. Later in life he became a collector for People's Life Insurance Company.Homer A. Plessy (March 17, 1863 - March 1, 1925) was the petitioner in the landmark US Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896), that legitimized the "separate but equal" doctrine used to discriminate against African-Americans. The Plessy ruling, combined with the Court's earlier decision in the Civil Rights Cases, 163 US 537 (1883), which repealed the Civil Rights Act of 1875, allowed Jim Crow laws to flourish across the country (most particularly in the Southern states). Plessy was finally overturned by Brown v. Board of Education, 347 US 483 (1954).


How do I speed up the divorce process in Louisiana?

There are two main types of divorce in Louisiana. These are generally known as a 102 divorce and 103 divorce. The major difference between the two types of divorces revolves around when when you will need to file your petition for divorce.102A 102 divorce requires that the person requesting the divorce file a petition for divorce with a court of proper venue and jurisdiction. Once the petition is served on the defendant, the petitioner and defendant must live separate and apart for 6 months (if they do not have children together) or 1 year (if they do have children together). After they have lived separate and apart without reconciling for that period of time, either spouse may request a hearing date for the court to take up confirming the divorce.103A 103 divorce requires that the husband and wife live separate and apart BEFORE FILING the petitioner for divorce. Once the parties have lived separate and apart for 6 months (if they do not have children together) or 1 year (if they do have children together), then either party may file a petition for divorce. The parties may not reconcile during this period. Once the non-filing party is served with a divorce petition and the delays for answering the petition have passed, either party may filed a motion requesting a "preliminary default". On the third day after the preliminary default was filed, a judge should sign it. Once this is done, you can file a letter to the judge, judgment of divorce and applicable supporting affidavits.WARNINGFiling for divorce can have major effects on both property and child custody. In order to be fully protected, you are going to need the advice of an experienced family attorney. Many attorney's will express that they practice family law without having years of experience. If you don't hire a good attorney the first time through, it can cost you both financially and may effect your parental and property rights if your case is not handled correctly.In Addition, any statements provided within this answer are not intended as legal advice. The situation of your case is fact dependent. As a result, legal counsel should be consulted regarding your specific legal issue.For a free legal consultation related to your divorce, visit bentonlawfirm.com


What color were Homer Adolph Plessy's parents?

Homer A. Plessy was the petitioner in the landmark US Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson, 163 US 537 (1896) that validated the "separate but equal" doctrine and lead to generations of oppressive Jim Crow laws in the United States.Plessy was of mixed heritage, but was seven-eighths white. Both of Plessy's parents were listed as free persons of color, so it's impossible to tell which ancestors in the lineage on each side were African-American.Plessy had very light skin and admitted he could "pass" as white, although he had enough African traits to be able to challenge the Louisiana Separate Cars Act, 1890 legislation that enforced segregation in intrastate railway travel. Plessy belonged to a group called the "Citizens' Committee" that deliberately provoked subtle confrontation over the law.Lead Counsel for the case, Albion Tourgee, purposely chose Plessy for his light complexion, but wasn't simply trying to elevate the status of lighter-skinned African-Americans, as some of his contemporary darker-skinned peers criticized him of doing. Tourgee was a brilliant strategist who wanted equality for all African-Americans.

Are there any laws in Illinois that will protect respondent when the petitioner in an order of protection contacts the respondent and petitioner also violates original divorce decree?

Question is not really worded clearly. However - the same order that prevents the respondant from contacting the petitioner also protects the respondant from being contacted by the petitioner. THey are in equal violation and can be sanctioned by the court that issued the order. The petitioner can NOT contact and harass the respondant just because the petitioner thinks they are 'protected.' However, even if the petitioner can be proven to be violating the divorce decree that is a separate issue from the protection order which will have to be handled as a contempt matter.
