In 1955, many white Americans used derogatory terms to refer to Black people, such as "Negro" and other racial slurs that are now considered highly offensive. The term "colored" was also commonly used during this time, reflecting the racially segregated society. These terms were indicative of the systemic racism and discrimination that prevailed in society. The Civil Rights Movement was beginning to challenge these attitudes and language.
