Desegregation
The first article highlights segregation in the late 1950s. During that time, black people had “separate but equal” services in schools, hospitals and churches. The article goes on to explain that “separate but equal” existed even though there was the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments. The 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments abolished slavery, granted citizenship and provided right to vote, respectively.[1]
Desegregation is the removal of laws that separate people of different races. The second article highlights desegregation in schools. The case of Plessy v. Ferguson ruled that racially separate schools or any other facilities, if equal, did not violate the Constitution. It wasn’t until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was passed that black people were allowed into the same schools and public facilities as white people.[2]
All of these things could be used to add additional information in the article.
