Under this doctrine, Art Hanes, the mayor of Birmingham, could justify segregated parks. “We have four swimming pools for whites and four for Negroes,” he pointed out. “Four and four, now how is this discrimination?

Segregation was a poisonous residue left over from slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction, the period when southern whites felt that northerners imposed integration on them against their will. In retaliation, whites established segregation codes and other means to draw strict lines between themselves and blacks.
