Separate but equal

the seperate but equal laws meant that both the white and black would get water fountains, bathroom, shops, etc. and that they would be equal. However, racism did not make this possible. The whites had clean, fresh facilities hwere as the blacks had dirty, crappy facitilies. one particulr young black boy cna recall staying at the department store late so that me may taste the "white" water. To his dissapointment he found that the water tasted the same but that the white water came up so much easier than the black water.
