The 1930s and 1940s were know for the campaign against desegregation of the game of baseball. The black baseball players were ultimately deprived from playing in the big leagues with the white ballplayers during the time of segregation.

One of these strategies was districting students in Black communities only inside mostly black school areas…

Through constant separation and segregation between curious individuals, complicit figures, and the unjust system, and a maintenance of hope and fear, like the ones in Hunger Games and Minority Report, dystopian societies are able to maintain itself and injustice within. In both films, the system that controls the dystopia tries its very best to separate the curious individuals and the complicit, all the while isolating themselves into a very far away and unreachable place.
