Any facts that you find important: Their are many laws that have to do with seperating white and blacks. Personal reactions of group members: all Kaitlin: Buses. All passangers should have seperate waiting rooms and seperate ticket windows for white and blacks. I think that this is also stupid because they shouldnt have to be seperated to wait for a bus. Isabella: In Florida a law states that marriages between a White person and a negro decent of the fourth generation are forever prohibited. I think that this is stupid and people should be allowed to date who they want. Taylor-Law in north carolina that textbooks cant be interchangable between the white and colored school, they shall be continued to be used by the one race. I feel like this was a ridiculous rule and that they should be allowed to exchange textbooks. Return to Webquest
