There were never such a thing as separate but equal schools when the ruling came out. In my hometown, when the ruling first came into existence, they opened  the first so-called black library. All the library consisted of was a room with a chair in it. There were no books. Yet this satisfied the requirements of the ruling as far as the powers that be were concerned. These laws were not laws. What they were though were loopholes that allowed the ruling elite to continue business as usual.

Alidawriter, what is you home town and how long ago are we talking about. 

 

It does not seem like most young people really appreciate the conditions we lived in such a relatively short period of time ago.
