One main cause of the harassment of African Americans during the desegregation of schools in 1950 was the circumstances under which children of the time were raised. All of the little white boys and girls in 1950 were taught that black people were somehow different, bad, and inferior. They were raised to treat black people like they were worthless. The fact that any one of them may have felt differently didn’t matter; everyone acted the same for fear of becoming an outcast. In this way, the cycle of segregation continued and the treatment of blacks in integrated schools grew worse.
