Site Seven Title
1. This image shows inequality. A water fountain labeled "White" implies that the water fountain is off-limits to "colored" people. 2. A water fountain outside of a soup shop is clearly labeled "White" to demonstrate to African-Americans that they are not allowed to use it, punishable by law. Any additional facts that you find important: Segregation of public services did not only apply to water. Bathrooms, main entrances, and businesses were often off limits to blacks as well. Personal reactions of group members to this person: Even after slaves earned their freedom in the Civil War, white people still treated them as inferior. This is beyond justification and violates constitutional law.
