1956 Macon, GEORGIA pro-segregation newspaper - WHITES ONLY SIGNS still posted in GEORGIA Bus Terminals -inv #1J-132

Please visit our store at the link directly below for HUNDREDS of HISTORICAL NEWSPAPERS on sale or at PHOTO-----COMPLETE, ORIGINALNEWSPAPER,theMacon News (Georgia) dated Jan 12, 1956.This is a pro-racial segregation newspaper containing coverage of the early Civil Rights battles in the South. This issue contains a front page report that \"Colored Waiting Room\" signs were still posted in Macon, Georgia bus terminals, even though the US Supreme Court had ruledracially segregated public accommodations as illegal several years earlier.

This shows just how hard it was to actually ENFORCE racial integration on an unwilling populace such as in Macon, GEORGIA during the early Civil Rights era.

Racial segregation in the United States, as a general term, includes the segregation or \"hypersegregation\" of facilities, services, and opportunities such as housing, medical care, education, employment, and transportation along racial lines. The expression most often refers to the legally or socially enforced separation of African Americans from other races, but also applies to the general discrimination against people of color by white communities.

The term refers to the physical separation and provision of so-called \"separate but equal\" facilities, which were separate but rarely equal, as well as to other manifestations of racial discrimination, such as separation of roles within an institution: for example, in the United States Armed Forces before the 1950s, black units were typically separated from white units but were led by white officers.

Legal segregation of schools was stopped in the U.S. by federal enforcement of a series of Supreme Court decisions after Brown v. Board of Education in 1954. All legally-enforced public segregation was abolished by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It passed after civil rights demonstrations resulted in public opinion turning against enforced segregation. De facto segregation — segregation \"in fact\", without sanction of law — persists in varying degrees to the present day. The contemporary racial segregation seen in the United States in residential neighborhoods has been shaped by public policies, mortgage discrimination, and redlining, among other factors. Hypersegregation is a form of racial segregation that consists of the geographical grouping of racial groups. Most often, this occurs in cities where the residents of the inner city are African Americans and the suburbs surrounding this inner core are often white European American residents. The idea of hypersegregation gained credibility in 1989 due to the work of Douglas Massey and Nancy A. Denton and their studies of \"American Apartheid\" when whites created the black ghetto during the first half of the 20th century in order to isolate growing urban black populations by segregation among inner-city African-Americans.

This took placein the immediate aftermath (within a month or 2) ofRosa Parks refusing to \"move to the back of the bus\" in Montgomery, Alabama in order togive her seat up to a White man. Thatepisode resulted in theMontgomery Bus boycot by Negroes andspurred theCivil Rights movement of the 1950\'s and1960\'s eraled by Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. Very interesting perspective on the early Civil Rights Movement as reported in an anti-racial integration, pro-segregation newspaper in Macon, GEORGIA.
