The result of this case was the forced segregation of blacks and
whites in all aspects of life. Segregated water fountains,

‘separate but equal’ mindset. More and more Americans are
confronting the issues of racism and prejudice. We have a
plethora of civil rights organizations whose job it is to ensure
that ‘justice for all’ is a reality for all Americans. In
Muslim-majority countries, we have civil and Islamic based human
