During this time, Jim Crow Laws were in effect which established white authority over colored people. This caused segregation within restaurants, bathrooms, and many other public facilities. Housing discrimination was also another issue that effected colored families. This is because the FHA only offered mortgages to non-mixed developments and discouraged developers from creating racially integrated housing.   We chose this picture to be most impacting because even though the end of segregation began with schools, the Civil Rights Movement really started to make an impact on the country when Rosa Parks was arrested for not standing up on the bus.

In September 1957 a group of nine black students enrolled at Little Rock High School. This was pushed after the Brown v. Board of Education case. This integration happened in a area where racism wasn't as bad s the rest of the south and was faced with extreme protest. The president made the military protect the students for fear of what might be done to them. This photograph shows how the people from the town reacted to the integration and you can see they did not like it. This changes how we learn because it shows what they went through and how hard it was to do what is right.

The Korean War also known as "The Forgotten War" began on June 25, 1950 when soldiers from North Korea crossed the 38th parallel going into South Korea. In July American troops got involved in the war to help South Korea. The Korean War wasn't a popular war, the soldiers involved didn't get the same treatment as the shoulders involved in World War 2 and the Vietnam War, and was also overshadowed by these two wars. Around this time the nascent civil rights movement, the crusade against communism, and underlying divisions in American society. This is an impact on the way we learn/ understand history because this war wasn't really talked about, and in history class we get to learn about this war. This war created decades of tension between North Korea, South Korea, and the United States. Also it helped set the tone for Soviet-American rivalry during the Cold War, profoundly shaping the world we live in today.
