- Segregation and Civil Rightsanalytical essayThe definition of the term “American character”, in general, was in fact plagued during the 1950s. Instead of the believable “picture perfect” definition that American character was portrayed to be, it was really constructed of major struggles between different races. In particular, the significant struggles between blacks and whites. The 1950s was a crucial decade of change for African Americans. The results of the battle for nine African American children to attend Central High School (Little Rock, Arkansas) in 1957 promoted social advance for the permanent desegregation of public school systems. However, even with this nationally recognized social advance, the concept of “American character” varied between blacks and whites due to racial and social inequality.

725 wordsRead More - Segregationanalytical essayIn 1903, W.E. DuBois wrote in his book The Soul of Black Folk that Albany, Georgia was “a typical Southern country town, the center of the life of ten thousand souls.” In Albany, a “Negro is born in a segregated hospital, grows up in a segregated neighborhood, goes to a segregated school, and is buried in a segregated cemetery.” Segregation and Jim Crow laws were a normal way of life, and everyone seemed to know their place. However, things in America were ripe for change, and change needed to start someplace. White Americans of the Deep South held on to the mores that were labeled as segregation, and the African Americans began to push forward with a sheer determination to change. Two points must be noted about the impending changes, “on one hand, Negro determination and willingness to act; and, on the other, the willful or inert resistance of white persons and their institutions.” In 1961, a campaign that began in Albany, Georgia would offer a small spark of hope for African Americans. Protestors were taking their argument to the streets. These efforts to fight segregation would fail on one level due to a lack of press and a determined police chief, however, the bigger picture of what happened in Albany would lay the groundwork for more successful battles, such as what would happen in Birmingham.
