The civil war ended some time in the 1860s. You never really hear much about racism until the 1950s. A silent almost 100 years. I'm sure there were still racists but it wasn't as popular I guess?
Was there a moment that made things kick off in the south with separate water fountains and bathrooms or had that been going on the whole time and it just took until the 50s for black people to get fed up?
