What is segracation?

Segregation was the shameful practice - especially in South Africa, where black and white people were segregated - kept apart from each other - in all sorts of social ways. For example, white people (who ruled the country) kept the most fertile land for themselves, giving the blacks the rest. The best schools, hospitals, areas of the towns, doctors, shops, even beaches and sports centres were whites only - with black people having to make do with the poorest resources. Even transport was segregated - black people were not allowed to ride on the same buses as white people. Relationships between black and white people were banned, and even business or social activities was not acceptable. Thankfully nowadays segregation in South Africa is against the law, but there is still quite a bit of racism there - mostly whites agains black people, but also vice versa as well, although one could almost forgive the bitterness some black people show to white people because of the years of oppression by them.


Is it because of Ruby Bridges white and black children go to school together?

No. It is because of the Supreme Court decision of Brown v Board of Education. The Brown decision ruled that "separate but equal "was discrimination. Whenever people are kept apart that is s segration. When Louise Brown was finally admitted to the school she was kept in a separate classroom, couldn't play with the other children, and was yelled at every morning as she went into the school.


Black people had rights in which year?

In 1964 is when black people had rights. (Actually, black people gained their freedom and their status as Americans with the 13th and 14th amendment and black men gained the right to vote with the 15th amendment. Brown vs. The Board of Education declared separate but equal null and void, but prior to that African-Americans had the basic rights of the white man. But it was racism and prejudice that kept these people from exercising their rights freely.)
