Segregation! I had never heard of this word until the professors of Scripps School of Journalism brought the SUSI-scholars to the Martin Luther King (1929 – 1968) national historic site in Georgia/Atlanta. There I have learned that under segregation two different and isolated social worlds awaited black and white Americans, beginning in their childhood. Segregation was intended to send a strong lifelong psychological message: black people were inferior to whites and should be kept separated.
