Segregation
Definition:

 The practise of enforced separation of
  different racial groups in a country,
  community, or establishment.
Why Segregation Began...
 For more than 200 years before the Civil
  War, slavery existed in the United States. But
  after the war things began to get worse for
  blacks. The Southern legislatures, former
  confederates, passed laws known as the black
  codes, after the war, which severely limited
  the rights of blacks and segregated them from
  whites. These were made so Whites were still
  relatively in control of them and top of the
  hierarchy structure.
 Its typically associated in the „Jim Crow Era‟ -
  The Jim Crow laws were state and local laws
  in the United States enacted between 1876
  and 1965.
 They mandated racial segregation in all
  public facilities in Southern states of the
  former Confederacy, with, starting in 1890, a
  "separate but equal" status for African
  Americans.
 In the late 1800‟s a series of measures
  thought to prevent blacks from voting
  through pole taxes, literacy tests and
  residency requirements – virtually
  eliminating blacks to participate in public
  life.
Jim Crow Laws – “The Crows from Dumbo”
   In this 1941 classic, Dumbo the flying elephant runs into a band of jive-
    talking black crows who sing, “I‟d be done see‟n about
    everything/when I see an elephant fly!”
   The blackbirds acting in a manner stereotypically assigned for African-
    Americans was seen as racist and they even got a white actor to do his
    best „black voice‟.
   The lead character was named „Jim Crow‟ which were laws where state
    and local laws in the United States enacted between 1876 and 1965.
   The crows are very specifically depicted as poor and uneducated.
    They‟re constantly smoking; they wear pimptastic hats; and they‟re
    experts on all things „fly‟ so its really a team effort contributing to the
    general minstrel-show feel to the whole number.

 Racial segregation often existed in small
  activities such as eating in a restaurant,
  drinking from a water fountain, using a
  public toilet, attending school, going to the
  movies, applying for jobs or in the rental
  or purchase of a home. Signs made
  segregation more legitimate e.g.
 In America in the late 19th and early 20th
  century saw the rise in the „Jim Crow Era‟
  for the „de jure segregation‟ in the south
  and „de facto segregation‟ in the north.
 The difference between the two:
 De Jure Segregation – the separation of
  people on the basis of race as required by
  law.
 De Facto Segregation – being
  discriminated against in reality even if
  there is no official law against it.
De Facto Segregation

 In the north segregation was not
  mandated but still heavily practised
  because that's just the way it was. Because
  of this mind set there was an expectation
  by many white citizens that blacks sat at
  the back of buses or were subservient to
  whites. This was an example of De Facto
  Segregation.
 It wasn‟t until 1948 that then president
  Harry Truman signed an executive order
  for the integration of the armed forces.
  Still it took the army 3 years, in 1951 to
  formally announce plans to de-segregate.
 Many African Americans played pivotal
 roles the establishment of the civil rights
 act of 1964. Martin Luther King Jr led
 massive protest delivering nation stopping
 speeches and inspired generations with
 his civil rights activism. Rosa Parks
 refused to move from her seat on a public
 bus, famously being arrested for violating
 segregation laws.
