Re: The Segregated Water Fountains Photograph
i know i keep going to these race pics chris but i love them and i appreciate you posting them the fountains remind me of how my race were treated as well as some of the white people who suffered as well helping us defend the cause of equality if you notice the black man is sipping water from a fountain thats old and obsolete this is how black people were viewed along with beliefs of being inferior whereas the other fountain is up to date and beautiful it is stylish for its time. |

Re: The Segregated Water Fountains Photograph
I don't understand why there were different fountains for the blacks, did the whites think that they'd catch black skin from them.  |
