51: Civil Wrongs

Desegregation vs Integration, Robert Woodson and Human Dignity

Bob Woodson clarifies that many Civil Rights leaders were seeking desegregation (the removal of legal barriers) rather than integration (forced mingling). He recounts the indignity of being ignored at a ticket window in 1958 while white passengers were served. Mo Facts argues that confusing these two concepts has eroded the collective self-confidence of the Black community.
