Last two days of class 3/5 and 3/6

Yesterday in class we talked about segregation particularly in schools. Segregation was a big problem after the civil war because realistically the blacks and whites just could not fit in together right away. We talked about how schools were "separate but equal" but in most cases the quality of the black schools was a lot less than the quality of the white schools. Today in class we watched a documentary on the killing of Emmett Till and the case that followed.
