Haynes’s account reveals that in the midst of the abominable treatment of African Americans by many southern government systems, many white Southern Christian churches were practicing equally heinous, racist behaviors while prohibiting black worshippers from entering worship services.

The word segregation in most cases means a separation between different backgrounds whether it be racial, ethical, or even religious.

Rebellion, revolution, boycotting and even riots, have led to tensions between the two races. Additionally, desegregating schools led to a learning gap between black and white students. The Constitution states that no state can make the law that takes away the rights and privileges of citizens making them immune to it. Desegregation of public places should be allowed because it is inequitable to separate humans based on the color or pigmentation of their skin. Segregation has caused an increase in marches, riots, and boycotts.

The reason becomes obvious close to the end of the first article when Philip’s family fails to attend his dancing performance: it upsets him, and reveals the level of the family’s interest in his learning and progress. The family does not pay a lot of attention to his future, therefore he is an easy target for the outside environment, which also proves irrelevance of social capital in the community in this particular case. Thus, the example of Philip shows that social capital in the family is pivotal in forming human capital, and its lack affects children drastically. The concept of racism in education is presented by John U. Ogbu and Herbert D. Simons; the authors outline two types of barriers base on race: structural and expressive, or symbolic, barriers (p. 159).

The majority opinion of the case decided that “To separate [students] from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely to ever be undone” (Document I). The court considered the impact of these unjust laws on the children, which most other people simply didn’t understand. The court pushed for equal rights of every individual during this case settlement.

During the civil rights era, segregation divided public education by race, an aggravating system for African Americans. At the same time as activists such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. were fighting for fair treatment, a strong group of parents and their schoolchildren brought the issue of segregation in public schools to the supreme court. This powerful collection of cases eventually led to major changes in the civil rights movement with the invalidation of laws restricting the rights of African Americans in the US. During the 1950s in the south, public schools were segregated, meaning black and white children could not attend the same school under the principle “separate but equal.”
