Segregation in Southern America
Throughout history, African American has been subjected to unjust segregation policies which led to legal oppression, thereby affecting their lives (Bullard & Robert, 1994). During the word war II, thousands of African Americans were subjected to the mobilization of people for the possible entry into the war. Fighting in South America during the 1950s made me experience segregation daily in terms of race and creed. Discrimination had pervasions on American society, which included the military sector( Berg,1994). African Americans who volunteered to perform tasks would be subjected to segregation to combating support activities like grave digging activity.
The segregation laws denied African American rights to equal health as they had limited access to medical services (Orfield, 1951). African Americans were further singled out from the implementation and discretion of segregation laws. It was deplorable that after fighting for a couple of years, the African Americans could not still get an equal chance- without pure judgments from the looks (McPherson et al. 1995). I think the labor organizations always have to ensure that there’s the participation of workers, without discrimination with regards to race and color (Tomaskovic et al.,2007).
Fighting against segregation during World War II led to the contradiction of the democratic ideal of America and equality, which involves the treatment of the segregated minorities (Morris et al., 1953). Towards the end of the war, the civil organization of human rights to end discrimination in the armed forces in South America( Bailey,1980). During the period, African Americans were trying to be more assertive on their demands for equality in civilian life. The Congress of the racial Equality (CORE), which was formed to seek change in a non-violent manner, conducted a meeting to address the challenges faced by Africa Americans in terms of racial segregation (Bullard & Robert, 1994).
After the war, inequality and racial segregation in South America were on the focus of the world stage, which prompted actions from the judicial and federal agencies (Morris et al., 1953). The president is therefore mandated to appoint a special committee responsible for investigating segregation condition that details the agenda on civil rights (McPherson et al. 1995). The abolishment of the racial discrimination in the defense sector was undertaken upon issuance of the executive order by President Harry Truman (Orfield, 1951). The organizations were then mobilized to put pressure on Congress to pass legislation of the civil right (Walter & Lisa, 2000). African Americans later achieved notable as the barrier on color was broken, and the civil activists ensured that the whites and blacks were involved in the reconciliation journey to challenge racial segregation ( Berg,1994).
Citizens of every color and race should have the same rights in every state within the USA, to be parties, convey personal property y, and to have equal benefits of the laws as enjoyed by the white citizens in the USA (Tomaskovic et al., 2007). Public transport companies carrying passengers should be mandated to provide equal accommodation services to both whites and black races ( Bailey,1980). The National Association of the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) should take action towards ending segregation, which undermined the civil rights of the blacks (Jonas, 2005). Segregation should end since it involves denial of access to federal funding hospitals.
In conclusion, segregation has proved an increased number of uncomfortable facts concerning African Americans (Jonas, 2005). The policy that continues to segregate African Americans in South American obtains their roots in the nasty battles of World War II (Bullard & Robert, 1994). The idea of segregation involved the ideology that white people are more superior to the black and that black people deserve less, which is immoral. Therefore segregation should be condemned.
