Difficulties in the North and South

Jane Pittman taught me that even after the Civil War racial intolerance was a big deal. Jane struggled to find a place where she would be accepted. In Raisin in the Sun Ruth and Walter are trying to move into a dominantly white neighborhood in Chicago. Even though this is way after the Civil War and in the North, the white people are still set in the mindset the white people are better than black people. I learned that racial intolerance can be fought but the fight is never over.
