“...Many southerners had never been able to regard blacks as their equals or even as citizens.”(Hull 1).

Although it wasn’t slavery, different "colored" women were made into maids for white people

Certain rules were accompanied by being a maid

For example- Maids weren’t allowed to go to the bathroom in a white person’s home

People of different race couldn’t find anywhere to work other than white people’s homes, so it was almost like history repeating itself. The black people were being mistreated by white people again!

Maids were also to take care of children- which there were a lot of. In fact, “More than 3.4 million babies were born in the United States that year, up from 2.8 million in 1945.” (Corrigan 18-19)

Maids were to take care of children, cooking, cleaning, washing, and more

In the book, My Louisiana Sky, we find that Granny is a bit upset that Aunt Doris Kay had hired a "colored maid". This tells me that many people were against people who had "colored" maids. In the text it states, "Last year when Granny learned that Aunt Dorie Kay hired a colored maid to clean her apartment

The 1950’s was the the being of the official civil rights movement. In 1955 was the arrest of rosa parks ,but before that in 1951 was the beginning of one of the largest cases in history brown vs. board of education. It began with Barbara johns who unsatisfied with her school's poor conditions set up a strike with all the other students. this led to other schools going on strike. in the end these people figured that the problem wasn’t that black schools were bad, it was that as long as schools are separate blacks schools would be worse. Also they figured that if they wanted congress could have ended segregation a long time ago. In the end they filed a case and won, congress overturned the decision made in Plessy vs. Ferguson and declared segregation in schools a violation of the fourteenth amendment.
