  2. You can tell that people were separated by the color of their skin just by the sign in the background saying "blacks, coloured, and asians. People of color were clearly mistreated. It shows how badly people thought of coloreds just because of their skin.

  3. This image shows the segregation between races. This one was for a bathroom. It was for Africans and Asians. Segregation separated people of different races. It was mostly between Whites and Africans, but there were many other groups involved. There were different bathrooms, water fountains, sections in buildings and on transportation vehicles, schools, and much more. One was for whites, the other for colored people. People probably felt like they didn't belong. And I don't blame them. I would have felt the same way if I had to use a different water fountain or bathroom than someone else. Luckily, segregation is pretty much over, and hopefully we will never have to deal with it again.

  4. This image shows the discrimination between other races and white people. Segregation mostly separated colored from society and had a huge affect on their lives at that time. This picture for example shows how colored people were separated from society by even going to the bathroom. Colored people felt great discrimination at this time.

  5. This image shows the discrimination between white people and black people. You can see how black people were treated. White people and black people were separated for lots of things. Mostly white people got better things then the black and they were not to happy about that.
