Racial segregation in the United States
In the United States in the 1940's and 50's blacks, Hispanics, Jews and Asians were segregated from white people. They didn't have the same opportunities such as jobs, healthcare, school and many others thing. This laws were enforce by the government and sometimes by organize group of people who hated anybody without their skin color or believes. Many blacks were mistreated by these laws or sometimes kill because of how it was back then. A 50 year old black man had to be polite and called sir a 12 year old white kid. This were the darkest time in the US history and there is still a lot of people who are affected by the memories of those times today.
