Segregation

Segregation is defined as… The practice of requiring separate facilities, as in housing, schools, and transportation for use by whites and nonwhites.

Why is the fight for Segregation important?

So that we don’t need to be separated by the color of our skin.

We had many people lose their lives for us.

The struggles of my grandfather’s life.

So we don’t need to be separated by the color of our skin.

We were separated by the buses and had the Montgomery bus boycott.

We were separated by schools and we had the first black child go to school

We couldn’t walk on the same side of the street as whites and black men and boys were killed for that.

We had many people lose their lives for us.

Many blacks were hanged for just random reasons.

The struggles of my grandfather’s life.

My grandfather lived on a plantation My grandfather’s plantation owner would

lock them in the plantation at night. My grandfather taught his father how to

count so the owner can stop cheating them whenever they brought things from his owner’s store.
