To make this nation sound better and to make racial tension look less daunting they made "race ethnicity" seem like just a normal race relation.

They made it to were African Americans couldn't sit at an all white white bar in a restaurant.

This rubbed the people the wrong way it caused many people to finally stand up for themselves. The were even more furious when the court went on to say it was the colored race's fault. News flash last time anyone checked the supreme court is the one that is allowing the STATES to make this call on the laws and not the people...This is a very unfair and unjustified case; it should not have had the verdict it ended with. The connection of this case and the book is kinda crazy. This article connects with the book is the simple fact he lost the case even though he should have won. He was treated unfairly and got thrown back into jail. He was even probably taken away from his family too and didn't
