Mange af de job, som hvide havde, kunne ikke søges af de sorte. De kunne ikke sidde frit mellem hvide i busser, restauranter eller biografer, men var henvist til særlige områder. Børn af de sorte forældre kunne ikke gå i samme skole som hvide børn.
Many of the jobs that whites had could not be applied for by blacks. They could not sit freely among whites in buses, restaurants or cinemas, where they were directed to special areas. Children with black parents could not go to the same school as white children.
