Slavernij

In de zuidelijke staten bestond nog slavernij

In 1865 wordt de slavernij afgeschaft, maar daarmee is de ongelijkheid niet verdwenen...

In de zuidelijk staten werden wetten doorgevoerd om de witte en de zwarte bevolking te scheiden. (segregatie) 

A poster announcing a show of a white artist performing as a black person in 1900. The act usually consisted of funny dances.

Veel vluchten naar de Noordelijke staten. Daar ontstaan al snel achterstandsbuurten in de grote steden. 

Segregatie

"Gescheiden maar gelijk"

The three Allied leaders at the Yalta Conference. From left to right: Churchill, Roosevelt and Stalin. 9th February 1945.

pro- and anti segregation protests, 1954.

Segregation in the bus: white people in the front , black people in the back.

If the front of the bus was crowded, black people had to give up their seats for white passengers

During the Bus Boycott, black people refused to take the bus, to force the bus company to lift the racist rules.

This was successful. The bus company almost went bankrupt and eventually changed the rules, allowing free choice of seats for everybody.

Rosa Parks was arrested for not giving up her seat to a white passenger in the bus.
