Current events: One person one 1.6 billion dollar lottery, There was a package sent to CNN (bomb), Cliton and Obama never got the package though, Joe Biden called Trump George Wallis rather than George Washington.
Went over different pictures on segregation, showed that whites didn't want anything to do with blacks, even after desegregation the blacks and whites just naturally segregated themselves for aout 20 years even.
Companies would only let whites buy their products or use their services- this would think would only hurt their businesses, but if a white person saw a black person using it would not. Not only was Coke, laudry mats etc., but baseball, schools, parks, theatres, state parks, zoos
WWII was segregated (Tuskegee Airmen) , Vietnam War was first unsegregated war
