This chapter documents some of the everyday geographical experiences of Black American citizens who lived within segregated communities proximate to yet completely separate from White neighborhoods in the mid-twentieth century. Separate public facilities, including water fountains and swimming pools; separate school districts; separate neighborhoods; unequal access to public services and amenities; policed boundaries; and general racist animus meant that people of different races living in the same city, town, or county moved within parallel universes. Using phenomenological interviews, this project offers complexity and personal storytelling to supplement already existing research based upon publicly available geographic data. Archival images and participant-created maps are included.
