WHAT IS SEGREGATION?

MALAK ASHRAF
G10
DEFINITION:

1. The rule or practice of separating people of different races, classes, or ethnic groups. Forcing them to have
different schools, housing, and public facilities.
2. A form of discrimination.
3. Not allowing blacks to share restaurants, bathrooms, water fountains, or waiting rooms with whites. Not letting
black children go to the same schools as white children.
SEGREGATION IN THE UNITED STATE

 The legal or social practice of separating people by their race or ethnicity. Segregation by law is also called de jure
segregation. This happens when laws require racial separation. Or when the laws allow segregation. In the
United States, state laws kept blacks and whites from using the same public facilities.
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL?....

 If you couldn’t go to the same places as other people.


 Blacks could not buy houses in white neighborhoods.
 Many places (restaurant , cafes,…..) would serve blacks in the back or would not serve blacks at all.
 Blacks could not get many jobs that whites could get.
 Blacks and whites could not marry.
 Black babies were not born in the same hospitals as white babies.
WHAT ABOUT CIVIL RIGHTS?

 Civil rights means everyone who is citizen deserves the same rights.
 DON’T BLACK AND WHITE HAVE THE SAM RIGHTS!!!
 Separate but equal would give blacks equity, right?
 Blacks might be separate , but doesn‘t equale part mean they have the same rights and apportunities as whites?
WHO IS MARTIN LUTHER?

 Martin Luther, (born November 10, 1483, Eisleben, Saxony [Germany]—died February 18, 1546, Eisleben),
German theologian and religious reformer who was the catalyst of the 16th-century Protestant Reformation. 
 The 50th anniversary of Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech and the march on Washington for social
justice sheds light on Dr. King's mission, on the progress that has been made since his 1963 speech, and on the
long way still to go
HIS MESSAGE.

 Martin Luther King's radical message was about fighting for the rights of blacks in the South. It also addressed the
evils of economic inequality and racism.
 In his speech, the civil rights leader noted that African-American communities were living in a "lonely island of
poverty" during the post-World War II period. He then called for radical change, claiming that the time for such a
movement was now.
