Segregation/ Apartheid

1948 : Apartheid created

South Africans split up according to color (townships/Homelands)

(apartheid means splitting them up, holding them apart). Black guys need id papers and carry it everywhere. They need to get allowance to going out of their town. If they just walked out they would get sentenced to prison.

(''Apartheid'' lasted 45 years).

The first steps toward official segregation came in the form of “Black Codes.” These were laws passed throughout the South starting around 1865, that dictated most aspects of Black peoples’ lives, including where they could work and live. The codes also ensured Black people’s availability for cheap labor after slavery was abolished.

Segregation of children in public schools was struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional in 1954 with Brown v. Board of Education.

Segregation persists in the 21st Century. Studies show that while the public overwhelmingly supports integrated schools, only a third of Americans want federal government intervention to enforce it.
