In today’s episode of Lest We Forget Historical with Lillian C., we tackle a provocative question posed by journalist C.A. Bridges: Has the current administration effectively reintroduced segregation? According to Bridges’ article, a February memo from the U.S. General Services Administration reveals that the administration no longer mandates the explicit prohibition of segregated facilities—such as restaurants, waiting rooms, and drinking fountains—in new government contracts. This decision repeals a 60-year-old executive order originally signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson.
What does this mean for civil rights, and why is this shift so alarming? Join us as we unpack the implications of this policy change and explore what the administration’s true priorities might be. As George Orwell’s Animal Farm reminds us, “Two legs good, four legs better!”—but what happens when equality is redefined?
