🇵🇸 En Cisjordanie occupée, l'apartheid se manifeste aussi par des routes séparées entre Palestiniens et colons. C'est la ségrégation routière à l'israélienne.
Pourtant, les colons se transforment volontiers en coupeurs de route pour harceler et attaquer les palestiniens ou empêcher des ambulances de circuler.

Today in Labor History December 5, 1955: E. D. Nixon and Rosa Parks initiated the Montgomery Bus Boycott. The boycott lasted until December 20, 1956, when the Supreme Court ruled that the Alabama and Montgomery bus segregation laws were unconstitutional.

I missed this a few years ago. I regularly lecture about Homer Plessy and his work in 1892 to fight racial segregation in the American South. His work backfired when the Supreme Court immortalized him with their disastrous Plessy v Ferguson decision enshrining racial segregation as constitutional. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-59888947 #segregation #CivilRights #JimCrow #PlessyVFerguson #HomerPlessy #SCOTUS
