1. Greyhound bus - The Greyhound bus was symbolism of the racial profiling. Even though Jackie Robinson had just become a major league baseball player, he was still segregated.
“The bus driver gestured to us, indicated that we were to move to the back of the bus. The seats at the back were reserved seats- reserved for Negroes- they were straight-backed.”
2. Central High in Little Rock- This is where Elizabeth Eckford tried to go into a school but was refused because she was black. This shows how poorly colored people were treated.
“I walked up to the guard who had let some white students in. He didn’t move. When I tried to squeeze past him, he raised his bayonet and the other guards moved in and raised their bayonets.”
3. Sweet Unity Farms - This farm, made by Jackie Robinson’s son, represents the sweetness of unity.
“The sweetness of unity. The thrill of many coming together as one.”
