Artist Ian Wilkinson created this mural in an attempt to make a distinction between Homer Plessy and P.B.S. Pinchback. Plessy is often mistaken for Louisiana Governor Pinchback. No known photo of Plessy exists, but Wilkinson created a rendering of what Plessy might have looked like. He placed the men side by side to demonstrate that the two are in fact different people who both advanced civil rights in New Orleans.
