Abstract
In 1890, the Louisiana State legislature passed Act 111, also known as the Separate Car Act. This required white and African American people to be given "separate but equal" accommodations on railway trains. It required that: "All railway companies carrying passengers in their coaches in this state, shall provide equal but separate accommodations for the white, and colored races, by providing two or more passenger coaches for each passenger train, or by dividing the passenger coaches by a partition so as to secure separate accommodations...No person or persons shall be permitted to occupy seats in coaches, other than the ones assigned to them, on account of the race they belong to." A second part of the statute mentioned that the officers of the train have the authority to assign each passenger to the correct compartment, and that any passenger insisting on sitting where he does not belong shall be liable by a fine or imprisonment.
