The artist Richard Serra, in 1981, installed his sculpture, Tilted Arc, in the Federal Plaza in New York City. Even though the piece had been commissioned by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the Arts-In-Architecture program, it immediately caused controversy. In 1963, the GSA established the Arts-In Architecture program to make ½ of 1% of a federal building’s cost to be spent on public art. The point of this program was to enhance public spaces and to expand the public’s awareness of contemporary art by installing artworks created by contemporary U.S. artists.…
Throughout history there have been many cases about racism and segregation. Although different laws and rights have been established this seems to be a reoccurring event. The constitution promotes equality, but not everyone seems to agree that all people should be given the same rights. Even in areas such as education there have been differences in the education blacks receive from those that whites receive at their schools. Cases such as Brown V. Board of education of Topeka have paved ways to help make changes and differences in the way things are segregated between blacks and whites.…
Racism is an issue which frequently generates a great deal of heated debate. Back in history, the aspect of slavery is portrayed as the way of life for African Americans. Therefore, during the between 1954-68 period, the movement of black Americans became one of the most important movement in our history. It first appeared in the United States and the main concept of this movement concerned with social equality. Nowadays, most people believe that the negative effects of apartheid do not appear in African Americans in today’s society anymore. However, in my view, I am firmly convinced that African Americans still struggle against racism and oppression in several ways for equality and rights.…
Do you think segregation is okay or is it wrong? People are separating black and whites from each other just because of the color of their skin. Segregation is wrong because it separates everyone away from each depending on the color of people’s skin. ~-.-~ Segregation is wrong because it separates people by their race and doesn’t follow the laws of the constitution's fourteenth amendment. "Life, liberty or property, without due process of law" or to "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws”, ( Source 3).…
Segregation is bad because it went against the constitution since the U.S. banned slavery and was unfair to the blacks, it also had effects on health ,spending money, and parenting. Everyone was supposed to receive the same public services (schools, hospitals, prisons, etc.), but with separate facilities for each race. In practice, the services and facilities reserved for African-Americans were almost always of lower quality than those reserved for whites. Segregation was never mandated by law in the Northern states, but a de facto system grew for schools, in which nearly all black students attended schools that were nearly all-black. In the South, white schools had only white pupils and teachers, while black schools had only black teachers…
The documentary “A Class Divided” is very eye opening into the world of racism and discrimination. The textbook Racial and Ethnic Groups defines racism as “a doctrine that one race is superior” and discrimination as “the denial of opportunities and equal rights to individuals and groups because of prejudice or for other arbitrary reasons” (Schaefer, pp. 14,41). The film’s set the tone for only being able to comprehend these concepts by truly “walking in their moccasins” as Ms. Elliot states. She was just an ordinary teacher that felt a mere discussion on these subjects just wasn’t enough in light of the times. The assisnation of Martin Luther King Jr. and the rising division of our nation by color demanded something else. This is when she decided to give a lesson based on blue eyes and brown eyes that would give rise to a microcosm society in her 3rd grade classroom (Frontline, 2003). As I examine this film, I hope to give better incite about the feelings and attitudes towards racism and discrimination.…
Have you ever wondered why we had Segregation ? Also how our world would be if we didn't have segregation. The purpose of segregation was to separate Blacks from Whites for example, they each had their own restrooms that were “equally” the same as whites restrooms. There are many reasons why segregation is wrong. For instance, Plessy was arrested for purchasing a first class train ticket for a white only train, and as soon has he stepped on the train he was arrested.…
Segregation, a topic known to all yet many choose to do nothing about it. This word is used in a incoherent way. It was and is used being used as separation of different racial groups. Segregation is wrong since we are all one together, culture or appearance does not make a difference. Segregation also creates violence and hatred, causes others to be inferior towards others, and an economical inequality.…
In the past there has been segregation and segregation is wrong people have physically and verbally abused blacks and they see blacks as something other than human beings this is why segregation is wrong and should be stopped before things get worse. For example, in Source A it states, “Rosa Parks stepped onto the bus for the ride home and sat in the fifth row the first row of the Colored Section.” This shows that segregation was horrible they made a “Colored Section” for blacks. This also shows that people that were black had to sit in the “Colored Section” for what color they were. In addition, Source A also states, “To modern eyes, getting a seat on a bus may not seem like a great great feat.…
Throughout history, specifically in the 1900s, segregation has been an issue for races often discriminated against. The Civil War began was the first movement against it, however, even after it had been put to an end, the idea still lingered on, in a less harsh manner. Many major events occurring after the Civil War began a final motion against segregation, finally ending it in the 1960s. Segregation is an unethical morality owing to the fact that it is unconstitutional, cruel, and discriminating. The method of segregation was illegitimate according to the Constitution.…
"Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, 'Segregation is the adultery of an illicit intercourse between injustice and immortality.'" Segregation and discrimination was a big issue in the U.S. history and to this day, it can still be found. Treating individuals as per the shade of their skin and holding preference against a specific class of individuals in light of their racial affiliations are cases of discrimination. On the other hand, keeping individuals separated based on their apparent contrasts is segregation. This is exactly one reason that cost many people's lives during the U.S. history.…
Racial Segregation in the United States is defined as legal or social practice of separating groups of people by custom or by law based on differences of race, religion, wealth, culture, or sexual orientation (www.worldbook.com). Segregation is usually the result of a long period of group conflict, with one group having more power and influence than another group. Racial segregation in its modern form started in the late 1800's and provides a means of maintaining the economic advantages and superior social status of the politically and socially dominant group, and in recent times it has been employed primarily by the white populations to maintain their ascendancy over other groups by means of legal and social color bars.…

A world is made up of different elements: water, earth, and life. Elements that define human’s life; and evolution of humanity starts with these ingredients, ingredients that achieve peace in humanity. However, in present day, there is a large issue circulating around the globe and that is racial inequality. Alas, this particular issue has been present for an abundance amount of time; and the only difference between racial inequality in the past and in the present is slavery has been abolished in North America. Yet, there are a considerable number of people who are supporting racial equality in the United States. It might seem difficult, but it is a possible task to attain racial equality in the land of dreams.…
