This photo represents segregation in America. I hate it. The ignorance of whites in this time period was awful. AWFUL. Segregation allowed for whites to discriminate against the colored. Blacks were separated from whites by law and by private action in transportation, public accommodations, recreational facilities, prisons, armed forces, and schools in Northern and Southern states. This picture, I believe, shocked many people. Before segregation began, slavery had just been abolished, and had allowed many blacks to have hope for their lives again. Once segregation started, their hope was lost, once again. This picture is from a restaurant that only served whites. Imagine seeing this sign now-a-days. They were probably furious. What is the reasoning behind all these actions? I don't understand why people would do this. It's wrong. Later, the United States put an amendment into action that stated everyone was equal, which once again gave them true freedom back.
This picture makes me disgusted with humanity almost. I don't get it. Everyone was created by the same person and every should be allowed the same opportunities, but obviously some people felt different. It makes me so sad for people. But I am also extremely glad that that movement ended. No justice, no peace.
