Colored people have to drink from different water
fountains; those who were poorer are not allowed
to be involved with those who were wealthier than
them. As a matter of fact, if one was different,
they are shunned by society. In a perfect world,
people would rejoice in each one another's
happiness, but this isnt a perfect world; nor was
it in the 1930 s. The Southern states were an area
of archaic, imported romanticism (Erisman, p. 1).

selection). This is a very complicated process in
which many people have devoted their lives to its
study. The gathering of food by the leaf cutting
