| | Racial segregation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Racial segregation is characterized by separation of people of different races in daily life when both are doing equal tasks, such as eating in a restaurant, drinking from a water fountain, using a rest room, attending school, going to the movies, or in the rental or purchase of a home. |
 | | Segregation, however, often allowed close contact in hierarchical situations, such as allowing a person of one race to work as a servant for a member of another race. |
 | | Many of their efforts were acts of civil disobedience aimed at violating the racial segregation rules and laws, such as refusing to give up a seat in the fl part of the bus to a white person (Rosa Parks), or holding sit-ins at all-white diners. |
