As a group we strongly believe that segregation is unlawful and inhumane. Segregation has harmed minorities in our country for years since our country first developed back in the mid 1800's and during the civil war. We have discriminated, segregated, threatened, beat, and killed minorities for too many years. These inhumane acts are not the American way.
          Segregation has greatly impacted our country, especially to African Americans. During these times of segregation, blacks and other minorities were beaten and killed simply for the color of their skin or their sentimental beliefs. Blacks went to separate schools, restrooms, drinking fountains, and even restaurants and many more colored only places. Many minorities and blacks were scared of daily life due to the hatred and violence portrayed against them, making life an everyday battle field.
