African Americans Lose Ground

​Do we achieve equality by integrating or segregating? 

• Integration: Black people would be placed on an equal basis with whites by leveling social, economical, and political barriers, and advocating for equal opportunity between the races

• Segregation: Division of the races into their own communities. Blacks would create their own institutions (social, educational, economic) independently of white society. 

• Solution: Segregation--- Who does this impact?? Who does this benefit???

Segregation

De Jure Segregation: Legalized separation between the races.

De Facto Segregation: Customary practice of maintaining separation between the races, not established by law.

In other words, De Jure segregation is backed by law, meaning there is some type of legislation or ruling that supports it. De Facto segregation happens because it is a social norm. ​

​Think Jure=Jury, Jury=Court/Law
