Segregation: The First Public Housing Act Of 1949

“Blacks are no longer allowed inside of this store”. Colored people didn’t have the same rights as the whites that’s what made their life so difficult. Civil rights movement and the 3 amendments helped the blacks get there rights. Movement in the United States known as the civil rights movement started in the late 1950’s. The civil rights movement broke segregation.

Racism is apparent throughout Lorraine Hansberry’s “A Raisin in the Sun” in which we follow the life of an African-American family in Chicago in the 1950’s, who are trying to move out of the slums through the insurance money that they got from Mr. Young’s death. But this would be become a challenge for them as they are in the midst of a racial segregation in which they were not allowed to have the same rights as their white counterparts. Such as having the ability to obtain the same jobs, education, and being able to purchase the same houses as their white counterparts. This does put African American’s at a disadvantage, as in many cases they are unable to leave the lower class and are continued to look down upon by those that in a higher class them or a white skin color.

However, this is when American businesses started their biggest incline. Advertisement had came into the ball game in America when businesses came out with new methods to attract consumers such as they money back guarantee formed by John Wanamaker. Also, the American people started living more “fancier.” Sanitation improved

Living as a colored person in the 1950s was much different from how it is today. First starters, even thinking, right now, about using a different bathroom, or have to live in a separate neighborhood from people that are a different race than me, would be a crazy thought. This happens to be how the Youngers lived at this time in life. The Youngers, who lived in Chicago spend most of their live in a cooped up house with five other people. Being that there were only 3 other rooms, not counting the kitchen and living room area, and also having to live with another family, did not make their living situation somewhat comfortable.

Instead of using the traditional three ages of Stone, Bronze and Iron, Childe argues that development is better seen as occurring in the Paleolithic, Neolithic, urban, and

Discrimination of people makes others feel sorrow for the ones who suffered. The Civil Rights movement started in the late 1950’s and was a really hard time for African Americans. Segregation was popular in the 1940’s, when the U.S. became a country most of the African Americans that lived there were slaves, they weren’t considered citizens and because of that they didn’t have the same rights as everybody else. In the 1950’s there was Racial Segregation, which meant that they weren’t allowed to go to the same schools, churches, restaurants and buses. The Civil Rights Movement achieved the passage of equal right laws; all this happened in the mid-1960’s intended to end discrimination against people because of their race.

A number of issues, including great levels of poverty, existing housing segregation, and large suburban populations, all manage to limit neighborhood integration for white and black families. The movement of white and black families into integrated neighborhoods depends greatly by factors such as economic, political, and demographics. Latinos and Blacks are open to taking up residence in different neighborhoods but whites are not. They try to avoid taking up residence in neighborhoods that lean more to any one particular group of people. Most of the time when white families leave a racially diverse neighborhood in order to gain new employment, or for other reasons, chances are they will not be replaced by another white families.

The movement towards the North gave many economic opportunities to migrants. From working in farms, they started working in factories. Their lifestyle changed as well.

The jobless impoverishment has really change but not for the better in many ways it got worse the part from Wilson point of view is that the inner city got better compare to the earlier stages. The inner city represent places where African America live and what happened to those people who live in the middle occur the civil right movement which have political communicate the pass the civil right bill and the voting right bill remember this world is illegally segregation and the institutional communal ghetto part of the reason people live there significant of African American is that illegally segregation by law and part what the civil right does about to make it legal so in this world who possible for a property owner to decide for whatever reason not to sell a pieces of property to African American because it’s legal to discriminate and one of the things the civil right succeed is making a part what is illegal to discriminate, but as this began to form as jobless rate begin to goes up what tends to happened in these world institutional communal ghetto as the jobless rate raise less people are involved that is the fact that discriminate is become is technique illegal through the civil right bill facilitate the old middle class mean the professional to do something about its to move where the job are and so far for someone to discriminate you for the housing or the job itself you have to move to a places where they don’t discriminate you. For Wilson, the real tragedy not just the ghetto becoming less job, but as jobless begin to go up people that was aware begin to move out based upon is this the communal dimension of this increase the

Sometimes whites would fail at keeping blacks out of their neighborhoods and would completely pack up and move themselves to a different neighborhood. Other times the electricity would be turned off just to make them move somewhere else. The forced moving of blacks out of white neighborhoods into black neighborhoods was called “ghettoization”. Living in black neighborhoods was probably better for blacks because they couldn’t be racist towards each other and they were able to help each other out (Black Ghetto).

The “Code of the Street,” materialized in American’s major metropolitan inner city communities’ predominately homogeneous African American neighborhoods because segments of this population felt disenfranchised from mainstream American due to lack of economic opportunities as well as the distrust between citizens in these communities toward law enforcement. The common belief in among a minority of the population in these neighborhoods is that the criminal justice system is bias toward poor minority groups and every person must fend for himself or herself. Therefore, urban communities have developed a set of socially acceptable norms within these distressed communities coined the “Code of the Street.”

Tax breaks were definitely put into place to convert low income housing into luxery rentals. It forced out minorities because they were unable to pay the inflated prices and also homosexuals because sometimes when a partner died they were not able to inherit the home or apartment. So

Many whites felt as if colored people and whites should not attend the same schools. Segregation was not just in schools but in the communities as well. Laws such as Jim Crow Law stopped the colored and the white people from seating, eating, and playing together, “It shall be unlawful for a negro and white person to play together or in company with each other in any game of cards or dice, dominoes or checkers” (americanhistory.si.edu). White as if they were more superior then the Colored people, “African Americans were reminded that most of their fellow citizens believed them to be inferior and undeserving of equal treatment” (Sharp 39). It was very hard for a colored person to find a job, they worked as farmhands, servants or janitors.

In Merriam Webster Online Dictionary, the word segregation means a “cause or force the separation of (as from the rest of society).” American society has for decades segregated African-Americans from their White counterparts. Even today, with equal rights for all, many people of color feel segregated in their daily lives. However, today’s segregation does not compare to the 1930’s America.

The District of Columbia’s desegregation case was based on the boycott of the black high school that was overcrowded and in a condition of desperation. Since the District of Columbia was a federal territory, the Fourteenth amendment was not applicable towards the justification of the case’s position. Lawyers of the case selected a different approach of consolidating the Fifth Amendment, which guaranteed the equal protection of the law maintaining the same manner of the Fourteenth Amendment. The decision of Bolling v. Sharpe was simultaneously decided with Brown v. Board of Education, issuing the segregation itself was considered to be unconstitutional. The court ruled the African Americans in the District of Columbia were repudiated of the due process clause under the Fifth Amendment for the reasoning there was no vindication of the
