Sembilan puluh tahun setelah perbudakan, orang kulit hitam masih dipisahkan dari kulit putih. Mereka masih memiliki air mancur minum terpisah, toilet terpisah, lingkungan terpisah, dan sekolah terpisah. Mereka masih diharapkan untuk duduk di belakang bus. Asli: Ninety years after slavery, blacks were still segregated from whites. They still had separate drinking fountains, separate restrooms, separate neighborhoods, and separate schools. They still were expected to sit at the back of the bus.
