This Double Bubble Map visually contrasts the experiences of white individuals to black individuals during the Jim Crow era. On the white side, there are images of better amenities such as a water fountain, cafeteria, and classroom. These images suggest that white individuals had access to superior facilities and resources in public spaces.

On the black side, there are images of worse amenities such as a water fountain, cafeteria, and classroom. These images depict the discriminatory practices that African Americans faced during this time, where they were provided with lower-quality facilities compared to their white counterparts.

Overall, this map highlights the stark disparities in treatment and opportunities based on race during the Jim Crow era.

Note: The bubble map was the last question we answered

The ruling of "separate but equal" in Plessy v Ferguson in 1896 was drastically different from the reality of racial segregation that existed in America. While the legal principle claimed that segregated facilities for white and black individuals could be equal, the actual provisions were far from equal, with black individuals receiving inferior services and resources. In the images on the Double Bubble Map, the stark contrast between the amenities provided for white individuals (better water fountain, cafeteria, and classroom) and those for black individuals (worse water fountain, cafeteria, and classroom) exemplifies the disparity in treatment. This unequal treatment extended beyond these basic amenities to include all aspects of life, such as public transportation, educational opportunities, and access to jobs, showcasing a clear contradiction between the legal doctrine of "separate but equal" and the harsh realities of systemic racism and discrimination.

Make this shorter

The ruling of "separate but equal" in Plessy v Ferguson did not reflect the reality of racial segregation in America. While legally claiming equality in segregated facilities, the actual conditions were far from equal. The images of better amenities for white individuals contrasted with worse amenities for black individuals on the Double Bubble Map illustrate this disparity, highlighting the systemic racism and unequal treatment faced by African Americans in various aspects of life.
