de jure segregation: segregation by law
One of the famous laws during this time was that colored people were not allowed to sit in the front of the bus with the whites. They were forced to sit in the back and exit from the back without complaint. Rosa Parks, shown in the picture, was a big part of the Montgomery Bus Boycott.

This picture is an example of De Jure Segregation because it is clearly showing how it was ordered by the police department because the police is putting it up. Many signs like these were creating because colored people were treated lower than the whites. Fines, jail time, or even being beaten were punishments if these signs weren't followed.

This picture shows how colored people were valued less than whites. The two races were not able to share the same water fountain if they were caught many punishments would be given. As you can tell the whites had a much bigger and nicer fountain than the colored people. Google Images "De Jure Segregation Examples"
de facto segregation: segregation by practice & custom
This picture above shows how white suburbs would put up signs with things written like this to make sure no colored people could be able to live in their community. Tensions were hot between both racial groups even if the law didn't say the two races needed to live in separate places. Google Images "De Facto Segregation Examples"
This theatre shows how there was never a law stating the two races had to be separate but it became a custom and that is how the REX Theatre started. Many African Americans were being treated unequal in "white" communities and places, so they decided to create this theatre. Google Images "De Facto Segregation Examples"
This is a sign showing how whites set up a voting poll to ask if they wanted blacks in their school. If they didn't then they shouldn't hesitate and go vote. Voting was not set up by the law this was a practice that the whites took so no African Americans would be allowed in school. Google Images "De Facto Segregation Signs"
White response- protest to desegregation
This is an example of how police used dogs to young African Americans demonstrating the civil rights movement. Police took measures too far with having to have dogs hurt colored people when just arresting them would have been much easier and less painful. Most of these people haven't done anything wrong they just get punished for what they believe.

This picture shows the negative response to how colored people and as you can see even white people get treated for what they believe in. These were called "sit ins" where African Americans would sit at the white only counter and refuse to move until they were served. Unfortunately, they were harassed, kicked, and stuff thrown on them. The people never fought back and most would end up in jail or even fined. Google Images " White Response Civil Rights"
As you can see, many white women disliked African American women. Many negative comments came from the white community. Most didn't like what they had done or understand why they were even around. The things the whites were saying were far extreme, and African Americans just took it all in. Google Images "White Response to Civil Rights"
