Photos about racial segregation in the Southern United States during the 1920's, 1930's, 1940's and 1950's. In those days, white southern governments (local and state) established racist segregational laws. Blacks were not allowed to stay together with whites in public places such as lunch counters, restaurants, theaters, public transportation, schools, restrooms, pools, fountains, waiting rooms, libraries, some communities, etc. Ever since, most of the black community was Christian, and were known as the "black church" (African American Baptists, Episcopalians, Pentecostals, Methodists, etc). Many of them expressed their faith in the middle of these troubled times with public demonstrations known as "Prayer-ins", which would also be used by Pastor Martin Luther King Jr. during the Civil Rights Movement.
I used a "Negro Spiritual" as background music in this video. Of all the pictures, only one was taken in Boston; all the others were taken in Southern States such as Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Virginia, etc. Here you can see statements like "White only" or "Colored people only", whose authors will be judged in the Judgment Day. All segregationists are sinners who are to be condemned, as The Bible assures: "Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner" (Proverbs 14:21).
May God bless all of the black community and their sons and daughters.
