What Is Segregation?

segregation is the special Amer,
lean means of branding Colored
Americans as the interiors Of In
feriors in public status.
"When the white South found it
self confronted with the federal sta
tus of equality for Colored people
the former slaves-equality OF cltl'
zenship, of freedom, Of franchise
rights, backed by the national gov.
ernment-it selected the denial Of
presence and of service in places
opened for public patronage as the
one great way to brand ColOred
people as having been a slave race
and make them forever the scorn Oh
civil society.
at is a very effective measure
Colored people are traitors to them
selves to aid and abet the idea by
self-segregation."
