OVERVIEW: Defendants could successfully challenge their convictions for violating Louisiana's breach-of-the-peace statute, where only evidence to support the charge was that they were violating a custom that segregated people in waiting rooms according to their race, and such practice was not allowed in interstate transportation facilities under federal law.
