It was odd because the hallways were never quiet at school. I could feel tension in the air which was something that I had never experienced until that day. The incident that brought out people to act repugnant was the negative image and comments that an authority figure …show more content…
Many people do not understand how important racism is regarding problems that arise between different groups of people all over the world. Such as the problems that many White Americans had with African Americans in the 1900s. African Americans faced an awful amount of injustices by White Americans because of their skin color. They were attacked in the streets, busses and at school. Racial segregation occurred at school and in public facilities. African Americans where not allowed to use the same bathroom as White Americans and they had to give up their seats on busses to White
