when he went to school, he was turned out of certain restaraunts that were labelled 'white only', and had to rent a room in one of the few hotels near his college because he wasn't allowed on campas because it was also considered 'white only'. He was shunned by certain groups of people, not allowed into certain buildings, all because of his african/american parents.
