the twentieth century

Hello bloggers!

It upsets me to say that this will be my last blog so I'd like to thank all those who read my ideas and

interacted with my blog posts through out the year. 

Now lets get back to business ;)

This blog will be discussing racial  issues in the US during the 20th century. 

To be honest, I find it very strange that even after the supreme court's decision that ruled "separate but

equal" as "inherently unequal" in the Brown vs. Board of education case, segregation didn't end. 

I even asked my history teacher if the dates were right; how could segregation be outlawed in 

1945 and yet bus segregation still exists in 1955? Apparently laws were imposed but not applied. 

That is until rosa parks and many others stood up for themselves. 

When rosa refused to give up her seat for a white man in the bus, little did she know that she just 

helped initiate the civil rights movement in the US.

I came across this article which goes over pretty much everything african americans went through 

during this entire period from migration to urbanization to education to employment....

It describes the amazing  progress they made in their civil rights movement even though they suffered

from a lot of discrimination.

However, the writer goes on to say that in his opinion, the century ended  with a huge gap between

african  americans and white americans in terms of income, wealth, unemployment....and I absolutely

agree.

Well that was all so i hope u enjoyed reading it, bye!
