My diorama is showing racial segregation. The people decided that separate was equal even though it was not. It is showing that “white people” must go to a school just for whites and “colored people” at a school just for colored people. In Brown v. Board of Education colored children were not allowed to attend schools with white children under laws that required segregation by race. It all started when Linda Brown and many other children were denied admission into a whites only school called…

If you were to ask an average white American today if they believe segregation between white folks and black folks still exists, the answer would most likely be no. Why would they have a reason to believe the opposite if federal fair-housing laws have been on the books since 1968? But why is it that “in a network of 100 friends, a white person, on average, has one black friend”?

A “separate but equal” mindset had been developed, in which many places were divided by race as long as the services offered were similar. The services offered to colored people were substandard…

Segregation is everywhere in the United States. What exactly is happing and is conflict from the past now just getting to a boiling point? Every day in America somewhere an African-American faces segregation in their day to day life. There is no reason for this, or anything similar. We the people are all equal. Certain acts and laws were passed so we could move on but yet people still have issues. An act was passed to help with price discrimination. Kulis, Shaw (1996) It was huge breaking…
