Water Fountains

The picture of the water fountains shows how things used to be segregated. It wasn't fair in the first place to have seperate things for black and white people, but it was even worse because black people usually got things that weren't in as good a condition. If you look at other pictures of water fountains like this, the ones for white people are usually cleaner and newer. Also, if something as little as a water fountain was segregated, there ad to have been more important things (such as schools) that were also segregated. Segregation is wrong because it divides different groups of people, makes one group become treated badly, and makes some people feel inferior to others.
