Text : Introduction to racial segregation in the USA
What is racial segregation or discrimination? It is the fact that some
people are not treated equally because of the color of their skin. Example,
Apartheid in South Africa.
“You are as good as anyone” every Negro mother, in the South of the
USA, had, at one moment, to tell her young child asking his/her first
questions about segregation.
When slavery was abolished, in 1861 by Abraham Lincoln, the
Southern States whose economy heavily depended on agriculture, refused to
acknowledge this federal decision and resolved to secede from the North, this
caused the five –year Civil War won by the North. Later in the South, the
Whites did not want to accept to be equal to their former slaves or former
slaves’ children. It was the beginning of racial discrimination, racial
segregation.
Discrimination existed in schools, public transports, housing,
restaurants, hotels play-grounds… Negroes could not do every job and theywere paid much less than white persons doing the same jobs. They could not
vote. The Ku Klux Klan (a white organization ) terrorized and killed both the
Negroes and the writes who wanted to help the Negroes.
The Negroes’ fight for freedom, justice and equality because important
and better organized from the 1950s on. This was the Civil Rights Movement.
There were violent movements like the Black Panthers, the Black Power but
also nonviolent ones like the National Association for the Advancement of
Colored- People (NAACP), the Southern Christian Leadership Conference
(SCLC ), the Students Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), the
Congress for Racial Equality (CRE), etc. Leaders like Malcom X, Stokeley
Carmichale, Muhammad Ali alias Cassius Clay, W.E.B. DuBois, Martin
Luther King, Jr, incarnated this fight.
The fight was hard: e.g John Merdith, in Little Rock in 1960, the
Montgomery Bus Boycott (Alabama 1955-1956) etc. This bus Boycott made
Martin Luther King, Jr, very famous because he was president of the
Montagomery Improvement Association (MIA) that cared for the organization
encouraged and motivated the Negroes all along the boycott. Fortunately, in
the end, the U.S. Supreme Court voted segregation and discrimination to be
illegal and unconstitutional. Up to now, segregation has not completely
disappeared and the Negroes, the Indians, the Hispanics, etc. are still not
fully integrated to the American community.
