mankind is a pile of dirty laundry which needs to be organized by color. The reality is this hypothetical world did in fact exist in the United States prior to the 1970s. Racial segregation is one of the most recognized branches of social stratification in American history. Jeannette Walls was a witness of the effects of segregation.

Prior research on the causes and impact of school segregation has focused primarily on three areas: First, research documented the causes of segregation (Dorsey, 2015; Orfield, 2001). This body of research connects school districting, and the affordability of residential housing to the creation of segregated White and segregated Minority public schools districts.

Reflecting Upon Remember the Titans Segregation between blacks and whites was a very tough problem to get over in our country (one that we have been struggling with for centuries), but I never realized that it was still around a few decades ago- in the 1970's! Today, most kids that I know of, including myself, are very comfortable having friends of a different race, but as I have found out from watching the movie, Remember the Titans, that was not the case a short

In the 1880 census, it doesn’t show any evidence of residential segregation but instead shows Blacks living in small residentials that were diverse clusters with other minorities, including whites. When African-Americans were moving into Kansas City in the nineteenth-century, they had specific geographical boundaries with minorities
