Albert began his anti-racist mission right
in his own town of Princeton. It didn’t take
long for him to realize that Princeton, at
that time, was highly segregated. Segregation
is the practice of keeping different races
separate from each other, even if they live
together in the same community.
Princeton had its “black neighborhood,”
separate from where white families lived.
Some businesses would only serve white
customers. For example, black people
often had to buy their groceries in
different stores.
