For example, “Griffin wasn’t allowed to use the public restroom because blacks and whites had separate faculties” (Griffin 24). Everything was segregated. Anything that a “white” used, a black couldn’t dare use. In fact, Negros couldn’t even use the beaches. “When Griffin was in Biloxi, he found out that Negros weren’t allowed to step foot on the beach even though they paid taxes on it” (Griffin 83). No matter what Negroes did, they were never as equal as whites. Griffin didn’t experience the “law of the beach”, but all of the Negros that lived on the coast
