Why Segregate??
=== A lot of times you hear the word segregate you ask why? The definition for segregation is the action or state of setting someone or something apart from other people or things being set apart. Did you know at a point of time right after slavery people were separated by color. They use to have to drink out of different water fountains,go to different bathrooms, Ride different buses. Basiclly the whites had everything perfect while the colored (Blacks) had whatever they gave them. ===

=== The colored actually liked it in a way cause all they were use to was working in the fields and cooking for people. Now they finally got education they were not worried at all. But they couldn't take it to long. They started wondering why are the whites being treated so much better than us? === === But then when they started not being able to do things they wanted they couldn't take it. Some places didn't hire colored some wouldn't do nothing for colored. The colored felt like crap. From that day forward all you seen was riot signs waving in the air and people shouting. ===



=== Some of the most affective people in this movement was the little rock nine. They walked in a high school and the school guards wouldn't let them in. 2 weeks later the army came and arrested all the guards and escorted the black kids into the high school. Some people even thought that this would lead back to slavery but the blacks weren't going for it. Some adults taught there kids to hate blacks and some taught them to help blacks during hard times. ===
