Civil Rights

All the racial discrimination was not just in the South, it was pretty much everywhere. According to Theoharris, New York still had segregated schools. Also in the article, it says that they were trying to fix the problem in the South and not in their own town. Which I think is hypocritical because if you still had segregated schools and still discrimination in the North why not fix it in your town first than the South. The article says something about how the Northerners used the terms de facto or de jure. They said the North was de facto segregation, so it was casted outside the law and gives it the missing variables to make it look innocent. This history surprised me because we really only learn about the discrimination in the South and not in the North. I also think that we learn the the South was for slavery that we instantly just assume that the South was the only one supporting discrimination.
