Segregation was ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, finally, in 1954. The Arkansas governor at the time though, refused to comply, and in 1957 a group of nine African American students were escorted to the school building by the Army's 101st Airborne Division. Using Little Rock as an example, this would not be the end of the struggle against those who wanted the south to remain segregated, it was just the beginning.

African Americans migrated north in the early 1900s mainly because of?

Whether it was true or not, black people came to believe things would be better for them if they moved up north, and especially to northeastern states like New York and Pennsylvania. The south was segregated by law, and this severely limited opportunities for black people, who were restricted in where they could go to school, what occupations they could enter, where they could travel, when or if they could go to a library or shop at a store, and above all, how much money they could earn. Up north, there were more opportunities to get an education, find a job, make a living, and have a more comfortable life.While the north had so-called "de facto" segregation (by custom, rather than by law), there were no laws forbidding black people from studying (many colleges did admit them), nor were they restricted as to which occupations they entered (black lawyers, doctors, nurses, teachers, and business-people found acceptance). And while there were certainly ghettos in the North (and plenty of white people who were prejudiced), conditions in black neighborhoods were perceived as better than they were in the south, and many white people were fine about having a black colleague or a black customer. Further, the ability of black and white people to mingle meant talented black artists, sculptors, playwrights, musicians and poets could sometimes attract a white audience: during the 1920s, for example, the Harlem Renaissance occurred, and white people were able to see and appreciate black talent and creativity; in addition, black performers were often heard on white-owned radio stations, where they gained great popularity and earned more money than they might have in the south.


What were 3 successes of the Ruby Bridges story?

one success was that she got it where other blacks could go to a white school, without being hurt or scared.

You put something about people in your school from facebook can you be suspended or expelled?

Yes, you can. Well, I didn't totally understand what you were asking. You can be suspended or expelled for what you do or put on facebook about people at your school or about your school. For example, You take a picture of yourself giving the finger in your uniform. That automatically calls for expulsion because you are creating a bad image for the school. So what you post about people attending your school or about the school could get you in serious trouble if it is reported.
