Question

How did segregation affect american life in the postwar period?

Answer 1

Segregation remained widespread in the United States after World War II, especially in the South. But there were also signs of change. In the 40's and 50's, desegregation began in sports and the military. Civil right's organizations grew stronger. The landmark Supreme Court ruling Brown v. Board of Education heralded the beginning of the modern civil right's movement.
