    Racism is a huge problem in society, but it is nothing compared to when blacks were fighting for their rights, called the Civil rights movement. A man named Homer Plessy challenged this law, a shoe maker in louisiana, ended up losing the trial. Custom is something that people are used to that is basically like a routine for them.
