Segregation in the USA
All across the USA, segregation was the law!
In the south, more places were segregated.
In the buses, white people had to sit at the front whereas black people had to sit at the back.
Black people couldn’t drink in the same water fountains.
They couldn’t swim in the same swimming-pools and beaches.
They couldn’t take a shower in the same bathrooms.
They had to live in separate neighbourhoods.
They had to play checkers separately in the parks.
Black people and white people couldn’t study in the same schools.
