Explanation:
In "The Great Debaters," directed by Denzel Washington, segregation is depicted in various aspects of life during the Jim Crow era. Here are three examples from the movie:
1. **Segregated Schools:** The movie portrays the stark segregation in education, with African American students attending underfunded and inferior segregated schools, while white students enjoy better facilities and resources.
2. **Segregated Facilities:** Characters in the film encounter segregated facilities such as water fountains, restrooms, and public transportation, where African Americans are forced to use separate and often substandard accommodations.
3. **Discrimination in Competitions:** The film's central plot revolves around a debate team from a historically black college challenging the segregation norms by competing against white colleges. The hurdles they face in gaining acceptance and recognition in the predominantly white debate circuit highlight the pervasive discrimination of the time.
