Racial Segregation Definition Racial Segregation Racial segregation is the separation, either by law or by action, of people of different races in all manner of daily activities, such as education, housing, and the use of public facilities. Thus, it is a form of institutional racism. Racial segregation laws have existed in many countries, notably the United States, Nazi Germany, and South Africa during the Apartheid era. While no longer considered acceptable in most countries, racial segregation still exists in many communities through the individual actions of their members. Nevertheless, as the world advances toward the understanding that all people belong to one human family, such practices have become less prevalent, and an increasing number of communities have broken down the barriers dividing the races. Definition 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 restroom, attending school, going to the movies, or in the rental or purchase of a home. Segregation may be de jure (Latin, meaning "by law")— mandated by law—or de facto (also Latin, meaning "in fact"); de facto segregation may even exist illegally. De facto segregation can occur when members of different races strongly prefer to associate and do business with members of their own race, though a segregationist regime may be maintained by means ranging from racial discrimination in hiring and in the rental and sale of housing, to vigilante violence such as lynchings. United States After the Emancipation Proclamation abolished slavery in the Southern United States, racial discrimination became regulated by the so-called Jim Crow laws, which mandated strict segregation of the races. Though such laws were instituted shortly after fighting ended in many Sign for "Colored waiting room," Georgia, 1943 cases, they only became formalized after the end of Republican-enforced Reconstruction in the 1870s and 1880s, during a period known as the "nadir of American race relations." This legalized segregation lasted up to the 1960s, primarily through the deep and extensive power of the southern Democratic Party. While the majority, in 1896, Plessy vs. Ferguson overtly upheld only "separate but equal" facilities (specifically, transportation facilities), Justice John Marshall Harlan in his dissenting opinion protested that the decision was an expression of "white supremacy;" he predicted that segregation would "stimulate aggressions … upon the admitted rights of colored citizens," "arouse race hate" and "perpetuate a feeling of distrust between [the] races."[2] In the post-Civil War South, Democrats used the race issue to solidify their hold on Southern politics, playing on white resentment of black political power. Democrats were the agents in passing segregation laws, as well as laws disenfranchising blacks (and sometimes poor whites) politically. In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson ordered the segregation of the federal Civil Service. White and black people would sometimes be required to eat separately and use separate schools, public toilets, park benches, train and restaurant seating, etc. In some locales, in addition to segregated seating, it could be forbidden for stores or restaurants to serve different races under the same roof. Segregation was also pervasive in housing. State constitutions (for example, that of California) had clauses giving local jurisdictions the right to regulate where members of certain races could live. White landowners often included restrictive covenants in deeds through which they prevented blacks or Asians from ever purchasing their property from any subsequent owner. In the 1948 case of Shelley v. Kraemer, the U.S. Supreme Court finally ruled that such covenants were unenforceable in a court of law. However, residential segregation patterns had already become established in most American cities, and have often persisted up to the present. With the migration up north of many black workers at the turn of the twentieth century, and the friction that occurred with white and black workers during this time, segregation was and continues to be a phenomenon in northern cities as well as in the south. Whites generally allocate tenements as housing for poor blacks.[3] "Miscegenation" laws prohibited people of different races from marrying. As one of many examples of such state laws, Utah's marriage law had an anti-miscegenation component that was passed in 1899 and repealed in 1963. It prohibited marriage between a white and anyone considered a Negro, mulatto (half Negro), quadroon (one-quarter Negro), octoroon (one-eighth Negro), Mongolian, or member of the Malay race (presumably a Polynesian or Melanesian). No restrictions were placed on marriages between people that were not "white persons" (Utah Code, 40-1-2, C. L. 17, §2967 as amended by L. 39, C. 50; L. 41, Ch. 35). In World War I, blacks served in the United States Armed Forces in segregated units. Black soldiers were often poorly trained and equipped. The 369th Infantry, however, (formerly 15th New York National Guard) Regiment distinguished themselves, and were known as the "Harlem Hellfighters."[4] World War II saw the first black military pilots in the U.S., the Tuskegee Airmen, 99th Fighter Squadron,[5] and also saw the segregated 183rd Engineer Combat Battalion participate in the liberation of Jewish survivors at Buchenwald.[6] During World War II, people of Japanese, Italian, and German descent (whether citizens or not) were placed in internment camps, on the basis of their race. However, the German Americans were not sent to internment camps to the same extent as the Japanese. Pressure to end racial segregation in the government grew among African Americans and progressives after the end of World War II. On January 26, 1948, President Harry S. Truman signed Executive Order 9981, ending segregation in the United States Armed Forces. Institutionalized racial segregation was ended as an official practice by the efforts of such American Civil Rights Movement activists as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr., working during the period from the end of World War II through the passage of the Voting Rights Act and the Civil Rights Act of 1964, supported by President Lyndon Johnson. 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 black part of the bus to a white person (Rosa Parks), or holding sit-ins at all-white diners. Not all racial segregation laws have been repealed in the United States, although Supreme Court rulings have rendered them unenforceable. For instance, the Alabama Constitution still mandates that "Separate schools shall be provided for white and colored children, and no child of either race shall be permitted to attend a school of the other race."[7] A proposal to repeal this provision was narrowly defeated in 2004. However, in a different arena, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in February 2005, in Johnson v. California (125 S. Ct. 1141) that the California Department of Corrections' unwritten practice of racially segregating prisoners in its prison reception centers—which California claimed was for inmate safety (gangs in California, as throughout the U.S., usually organize on racial lines)—is to be subject to strict scrutiny, the highest level of constitutional review. Although the high court remanded the case back to the lower courts, it is likely that their decision will have the impact of forcing California to alter its practice of segregating by race in its reception centers. A law need not stipulate de jure segregation in order to have the effect of de facto segregation. For example, the "eagle feather law,"[8] which governs the possession and religious use of eagle feathers, was officially written to protect then dwindling eagle populations while still protecting traditional Native American spiritual and religious customs, of which the use of eagles are central. The eagle feather law later met charges of promoting racial segregation due to the law’s provision authorizing the possession of eagle feathers to members of only one ethnic group, Native Americans, and forbidding Native Americans from including non-Native Americans in indigenous customs involving eagle feathers— a common modern practice dating back to the early 1500s. Despite all of the legal changes of the latter half of the twentieth century, however, the United States remained a segregated society, with housing patterns, school enrollment, church membership, employment opportunities, and even college admissions all reflecting significant de facto segregation. Supporters of affirmative action argue that the persistence of such disparities reflects either racial discrimination or the persistence of its effects. Educational segregation in the United States In the Brown v. Board decision, Chief Justice Earl Warren, writing for a unanimous court, said that …in the field of public education the doctrine of "separate but equal" has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal… To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority as to their status in the community that may affect their hearts and minds in a way unlikely ever to be undone. The decision implied that the justices were influenced in part by studies by Kenneth B. Clark showing that segregated education had a negative psychological effect upon black school children. Clark's work included his "doll study," in which black students in segregated schools were shown both black and white dolls and asked which one they liked better. A majority of black students preferred the white doll, which was believed by Clark to demonstrate lowered black self-esteem as a result of segregation. According to the Civil Rights Project at Harvard University, the actual desegregation of U.S. public schools peaked in 1988; since that time the schools have, in fact, become more segregated.

  • World War Ii Internment Camp Survivors
    WORLD WAR II INTERNMENT CAMP SURVIVORS: THE STORIES AND LIFE EXPERIENCES OF JAPANESE AMERICAN WOMEN Precious Vida Yamaguchi A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2010 Committee: Radhika Gajjala, Ph.D., Advisor Sherlon Pack-Brown, Ph.D. Graduate Faculty Representative Lynda D. Dixon, Ph.D. Lousia Ha, Ph.D. Ellen Gorsevski, Ph.D. © 2010 Precious Vida Yamaguchi All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Radhika Gajjala, Advisor On February 19, 1942, President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Executive Order 9066 required all people of Japanese ancestry in America (one-eighth of Japanese blood or more), living on the west coast to be relocated into internment camps. Over 120,000 people were forced to leave their homes, businesses, and all their belongings except for one suitcase and were placed in barbed-wire internment camps patrolled by armed police. This study looks at narratives, stories, and experiences of Japanese American women who experienced the World War II internment camps through an anti-colonial theoretical framework and ethnographic methods. The use of ethnographic methods and interviews with the generation of Japanese American women who experienced part of their lives in the United State World War II internment camps explores how it affected their lives during and after World War II. The researcher of this study hopes to learn how Japanese American women reflect upon and describe their lives before, during, and after the internment camps, document the narratives of the Japanese American women who were imprisoned in the internment camps, and research how their experiences have been told to their children and grandchildren.

Both na- tions are separated by nearly 9,000 miles1, South Africa is a new democracy, while the United States was established over two hundred years2 ago, the two nations have very different climates, and the United States is much larger both in population and geography.3 However, South Africa and the United States share similar origins and histories. Both nations have culturally and ethnically diverse populations. Both South Africa and the United States were founded by colonists, and both nations instituted slavery.4 In the twentieth century, both nations discriminated against non- white citizens.

  • Imagining the Unthinkable: the Forced Removal of Ethnic Germans
    Imagining the Unthinkable: The Forced Removal of Ethnic Germans at the End of World War II through the Stories of One Family by Herta Pitman Henry and Elisabeth (Blum) Wolf 2009 1 World War II ended in 1945. For some of those who survived World War II, the worst period of their lives was just beginning. In the aftermath of the war, millions of ethnic Germans from Eastern Europe were expelled from their homelands. Many of these war survivors suffered injuries that for most of us would be unimaginable. Reliable sources in English that explore this topic are rare, though in recent years more works are including this episode, usually in an examination of large-scale forced removal, or genocide. The stories of forced removal of ethnic Germans have often been omitted from discussion due to a rationalization that the harms that befell ethnic Germans were rightfully deserved because of the atrocities committed by Germans during the war. Historical comparisons and enumerations of the massive human toll present an overwhelming sense of atrocity. However it is difficult to imagine how these acts played out for individuals. It is in stories of survivors, some from members of my own family, that provide a human face and a way to seeing the lasting consequences of forced removal violence. This paper is an attempt to understand my background. Very few of those who survived World War II are still alive, and every day their numbers are diminishing. Two of the survivors are my parents. When I was a young teen my mother would tell me stories of what happened to her when she was in her teens and an ethnic German, specifically a Danube Swabian, in Yugoslavia at the end of the war.

  • The CSU Japanese American Digitization Project Is the First Statewide Collaborative Initiative Among CSU Archives
    The CSU Japanese American Ichiro Hayashi intake photo, Tule Digitization Lake. 1943. SJSU. Project What is CSUJAD? A web portal to connect researchers with the CSU’s rich archival collections. Palos Verdes Language School. CSUDH. During the last half-century the archives, libraries, oral history projects and history departments at several California State Universities (CSU) have collected archival materials, objects and media relating to the era when 120,000 law-abiding Americans of Japanese descent were forcibly uprooted from their homes and imprisoned in incarceration camps during World War II. The CSU Japanese American Digitization Project is the first statewide collaborative initiative among CSU archives. Participants The Archives at 15 different California State Universities are participants in the project. These include: Dominguez Hills, Fresno, Fullerton, Northridge, Sacramento, San Jose, Sonoma, San Francisco, San Diego, San Luis Dentists at the Gila River Obispo, Long Beach, San Bernardino, Channel Islands, Camp, ca. 1940s. CSUDH. East Bay, and Bakersfield. Other partners include the Claremont Colleges, UC Santa Barbara, California Digital Library and Densho. Funding CSU Dominguez Hills, home of the CSU System Archives, Dr. Donald Hata, Dr Rita Takahashi, Aiko Herzig-Yoshinaga, and Dr. Roger Daniels, at the CSUJAD Symposium, June 2014. received a National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) Planning grant in 2014 to start the project. This led to a 2015 National Parks Service (NPS) grant to digitize 10,000 archival items. In 2016, the project received an NEH Implementation Grant to digitize another 5,000 objects. This project was funded, in part, by a grant by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service, Japanese American Confinement Sites Grant Program.

  • White by Association: the Mixed Marriage Policy of Japanese American Internees”
    “White by Association: The Mixed Marriage Policy of Japanese American Internees” Ashlynn Deu Pree University of California, Santa Barbara Department of History Abstract The purpose of “White by Association: The Mixed Marriage Policy of Japanese American Internees” is to describe in detail the Mixed Marriage Policy, implemented during World War II regarding the incarceration of Japanese Americans, and the reasons for its implementation. This policy allowed for specific multiracial Japanese Americans and those involved in mixed marriages with White males to exit the camps and return home to the West Coast if they could prove their lifestyles to be culturally Caucasian. This paper argues that the Mixed Marriage Policy was created in order to prevent White males from challenging the constitutionality of the Japanese American incarceration. Introduction “One obvious thought occurs to me—that every Japanese citizen or non-citizen on the Island of Oahu who meets these Japanese ships or has any connection with their officers or men should be secretly but definitely identified and his or her name placed on a special list of those who would be the first to be placed in a concentration camp in the event of trouble.’ – Franklin D. Roosevelt, President of the United States, 1936.1 The imprisonment of Japanese Americans in U.S. concentration camps during World War II violated the constitutional rights of the imprisoned American citizens and residents who were denied citizenship. The same right-violators who were responsible for this incarceration, were also the creators of the Mixed Marriage Policy, which allowed multiracial couples and individuals to return to their homes on the West Coast and avoid incarceration.

  • The Hypocrisy of Japanese Internment
    Khyri Jones The Hypocrisy of Japanese Internment December 7, 1941 is regarded by the United States as a day of infamy. On this day Japanese Air forces launched a surprise attack against Pearl Harbor and crippled the US Navy. After this day America officially declared war on Japan and entered World War II. However, in public opinion the war was viewed as a war against the Japanese and not against the nation of Japan. These sentiments led to the creation of internment camps where many Japanese- Americans, who had demonstrated no signs of treason or disloyalty, were imprisoned for many months until the end of the war. This action was viewed as necessary by many in the American public but when it was discovered that Nazi Germany were hosting Concentration Camps that gathered Jewish individuals and systematically executed them, the American populace cried injustice and forever remember those camps as the pinnacle of evil in the world. The Hypocrisy of these reactions and the supposed justification of these differing opinions will be explored. The first question to be answered is why is a analysis of the two camps necessary or important in this day and age? The Internment Camps were not only a mistaken judgement of allegiance but they were a blatant violation of the Constitution. The camps ignored Americans right to a speedy trial and the right to be safe and secure in their belongings. The reason this is important is due to the fact that these violations were attributed to any appearance of danger but to the appearance of skin.

    REDLINING AND ITS INFLUENCE ON EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM: A COLLABORATIVE AUTO-ETHNOGRAPHY by Erika Emery A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctorate in Education Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership for Social Justice California State University, East Bay 2016 Copyright © by Erika Emery ii Erika Emery 2016 Educational Leadership REDLINING AND ITS INFLUENCE ON EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM: A COLLABORATIVE AUTO-ETHNOGRAPHY Abstract Why is there a waiting list at the public school “across town?” Using a family’s home address to determine a student’s school placement mimics redlining tactics in real estate and limits educational accessibility. Critical Race Theory (CRT) provides a platform to challenge systems that perpetuate inequities that ultimately impact the educational experiences of specific races (Bell, 1995). Although research exploring the inequalities existing in the school system are plentiful, the conversation surrounding the impact one’s home address has on the decision making process of families is often overlooked. A multi-generational critical auto-ethnography of my own family presents authentic data as it relates to Black families’ experiences with educational redlining in Oakland, California. Inquiries were made to uncover what motivates parents to participate in the open enrollment process, even if the options to meet the needs of specific children are not available. An auto-ethnographic component provides additional insight into the generational impact educational redlining has on families. iii California State University, East Bay Doctoral Program in Educational Leadership for Social Justice This dissertation was presented by Erika F.
