Segregation was law and custom in the South and other
parts of America.
Before 1955, segregation between the races was common
in the south. This meant that public areas such as schools,
restrooms, water fountains, and restaurants had separate
areas for black people and white people.
This was also true of public transportation such as buses
and trains.
There were areas where black people could sit and other
areas where white people could sit.

do and on December
