By: Alexander Velasco https://padlet.com/alisonmcelrath/6p46cs4kycse/wish/158968141 Segregation had been a large problem in the 1950’s
A lot of people were aware of segregation. In the book "The School Segregation Cases" “Even in the quiet back-country, where racial tensions were lower than in the cities, there was always the chance that a teen-age prank by black students would be misinterpreted and would lead to an unpleasant incident of some sort.” (Stevenson, Janet. Pg.2)
This shows people knew that if a black person did something, than the situation would escalate immediately.
Stores were segregated, buses were segregated, and even schools were segregated.  At this time, most things were segregated.
At the schools most things that were given to “black schools” were broken things from “white schools” 
The "Black Schools" Thought that this was unfair.
They went into the Brown vs Board case.
This was a case in where a man defended 5 other cases about segregation in schools. 
This case made the states pass a law saying that you couldn't segregate public schools anymore because any person can attend to them.

Segregation in buses By: Alexander Velasco 
Segregation was used to not allow colored people to succeed in life, and become advanced.
Colored people were segregated in many ways, such as a bus.
White people would sit in the front, while colored people would have to sit in the back.
If there were a surplus of white people, and they needed to go to the back, then the colored people would be forced to get up and get out of the seat, or else they would get arrested.
One day, a woman by the name of Rosa Parks decided to not leave her seat when told to, because of this she was arrested.
After this incident, many people realized that colored people should have rights.
This led to the Montgomery Boycott.
This was a boycott in which people didn't take buses anymore, but took cars, or walked.
This was inspired by Rosa Parks
