Segregation - Cycle 4 - 3ème

Segregation

Segregation is the act of separating people, or setting certain people apart, based on race or gender. In the USA, in the 1950s, the Jim Crow Laws pretended to make sure that this segregation was not unfair, that Whites and Blacks were treated the same (“separate but equal”) but in reality, Blacks were treated as second-class citizens. They were forbidden to use the same drinking fountains as Whites, they were not allowed to go to the same schools or get married with white people.

Definition

• Revolution (violence) versus integration (civil rights)

Racial tensions and ideologies have always been major problems of mankind during its existence. From primal tribes fighting each other for land supremacy to the 21st century’s super nations delivering endless military conflicts. Race, religion, skin colour, economics, politics and many other motives. All of these are reasons for humans to fight each other. These racial tensions occurred all over the world during history but mostly in the USA and Europe. Especially during colonial and post-colonial eras. First, they happened as slavery, then they were called segregation. A different label for the same issue. Segregation = Separate but equal --> a facade

What about today? George Floyd and many others

What happened to George Floyd last year and what is happening every day all over the world shows us that unfortunately even after all these years our society still struggles with these racial issues.That is why I chose this subject. Racism is a sad reality and we need to teach younger generations about its destructive consequences.This could lead us to talk about racism in general - religion - color of skin

This document is a painting. We can see policemen marching on a crowd of black people. This is a protest against segregation. The picture is white and black but what is interesting is that policemen are wearing black and the group of black people are wearing white. Generally the color black represents evil and white represents innocence. Maybe the message is that everything is not either black or white. Demonstrators are holding signs with ‘freedom’ and ‘stop segregation’ written on them. We can see ‘White only’ written in white and ‘No Blacks allowed’ written in Black on the walls in the background. Policemen appear bigger than black people. --> Rapport de forceColored people used to be persecuted. Even today racism is an important problem in our societyThey weren't able to live like decent human beings

His speech is very clear.He is very convincing.He is repeating “I have a dream that one day”… He explains his dream:he wants to live in a more equal society.

TE attendu This speech was delivered by Martin Luther King on August 28th 1963, in Washington D.C., in front of the Lincoln Memorial. It's a message of unity and equality. MLK wants black and white people to be free and equal. He would like them to work together and be friends. He wants segregation to be abolished. It's his dream
