From The 10 At 10: Teaching about segregation…w/ “Whites Only” & “Blacks Only” signs at school

It might have seemed like a good idea to a social studies teacher; illustrate for your high school class what segregation was like by putting up “Whites Only” and “Blacks Only” signs above the school restrooms and water fountains. Only problem was the principal of Concord High in Elkhart, Indiana didn’t know the teacher was doing that…and just saw the signs.
