Segregation
Segregation- The enforced separation of different racial groups in a country, community, or establishment. (Google definition)
Segregation was a time in America where the whites were separated from the blacks in everything, like school, restaurants, the public bus, and so many other places. School, there were either separate rooms or even entire schools just for either black or white. Restaurants, whites would not dine in the same building as a black person. For the public buses whites sat in the front blacks in the back.
This was a time right after the 13th amendment banned slavery. White/Caucasians were upset about the whole ordeal and weren't okay with Blacks/Africans still. Yet, still so many years after there are people that still feel segregation is a good thing.
Segregation was finally ended by multiple civil rights activists, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., and Clarence M. Mitchell. We remember Rosa Parks by the way she stood up for the African race by taking a seat at the front of the bus instead of the back. Martin Luther King Jr. is remembered for his inspiring "I Have a Dream" speech which you can read here. Clarence M. Mitchell is remembered for being a strong civil rights activist.
I do not believe in segregation at all. I believe that we are all equal, color shouldn't matter and you shouldn't be judged upon your race.

Good but perhaps a bit brief overall.
