ParticipantI chose this picture because it depicts the racial discrimination of people of color in the United States Armed Forces. It did not matter which race a person was identified as, whether that person was black, Latino, Asian, or a Native American soldier. That soldier would be classified as the United States Colored Group during the Civil War. All this segregation was happening until the year 1948 when President Harry S. Truman abolished segregation for all U.S. soldiers. People of color were separated in Military ranks and also in their living conditions. This did not show the true unity that was supposed to be done within the armed Forces.

ParticipantOn this weeks topic of segregation, what came to mind was the image of San Diego. As shown by this map, most of the people of color live below freeway 8. By the discussions that we had in our class about redlining, this map is a very good example of the racial divide within this city. Most of the White Americans live along the northern part of the freeway. Even though San Diego is a very diverse city, the living conditions are still very segregated. The cost of living of both areas is another factor because buying a home in La Jolla is different than buying a home in San Y Sidro.

ParticipantThis photograph of these children is an image from the 1930’s of elementary children in Lemon Grove, California. When discussing race and space in the classroom, what came to mind was when the Lemon Grove school board tried to build a separate school for the Mexican-American children. This relates to the situation that these children were not wanted in the space of the main school. The reason for this separation was because of their Spanish language and the school wanted to Americanize and assimilate the Mexican-American into American culture. This issue was eventually brought up in a lawsuit in which the school board was accused of attempting to cause racial segregation within the school system. After the trial, a decision was ruled that the Mexican-American children could not be segregated. This case happened to be the first desegregation court decision ever to be won in the United States.
