Segregation


Today's article is...




Well, you know about Abraham Lincoln, but a few years after he died something happened! It was terrible.


This problem was called segregation. Segregation can also be known as the Jim Crow laws. Segregation was when African Americans and whites were separated. For example, there would be a water fountain for whites and African Americans. Another example is shown above. I think segregation was very cruel, and many people opposed it like, Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. I think these people are true heroes!
