Hello! My name is Liam, but you can call me Gibboboy! I got my username as when I used to live in the wonderful country of Gibraltar. I'm an editor on the wonderful site we know as Wikipedia! I joined on 12th March 2015 and I have been editing wikis about technology, TV stations and many types of machinery! I like listening to BBC Radio 4 (since we know it is for smart people!) and I have a hobby of collecting various retro consoles and computers! I am studying for a GCSE of Computer Science and journalism. I am very glad to be in this community, I hope to see you around! The beginningeditWay before I wanted to join Wikipedia, I was an anonymous user editing certain articles. I had a hobby for editing things at school on word processing programs, such as Microsoft Word or OpenOffice Suite. And when I was doing nothing but play video games, and I thought to myself; "Surely there is something else I could do than play Team Fortress 2 all day..." then I went around loking for a hobby, then I thought; "Of course! I like editing articles and work at school"! So I went on to the wonderful and community alive world of Wikipedia! I clicked on the 'Sign Up' button and I created my account known as my username! I first edited the article Steam Machine (as I said I was a fan of TF2) the upcoming games console from the gaming giant Valve. I uploaded a picture of the Alienware version on Wikicommons but unfortantly I forgot not to upload pictures without permission so it got took down in a matter of days. I then started to get the hand of editing many articles like my favourite interests, television broadcasters like the BBC, TV-am and many more. Then I created my own user page, the one that you are reading from right now. It was not as good in the beginning, but then i started getting the hand of editing and the code I was using. Then here i am today! Editing, reading, contributing and most importantly... enjoying Wikipedia! Pictures I contributededitGo here to see my contributed pictures!

Picture of the dayeditRacial segregation in the United States included the legally or socially enforced separation of African Americans from White Americans, as well as the separation of other ethnic minorities from majority communities. Facilities and services such as housing, healthcare, education, employment and transportation in the United States have been systematically separated based on racial categorizations. The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of segregation in Plessy v. Ferguson (1896), so long as "separate but equal" facilities were provided, a requirement that was rarely met. The doctrine's applicability to public schools was unanimously overturned in Brown v. Board of Education (1954), and several landmark cases including Heart of Atlanta Motel, Inc. v. United States (1964) further ruled against racial segregation, helping to bring an end to the Jim Crow laws. During the civil rights movement, de jure segregation was formally outlawed by the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968, while de facto segregation continues today in areas including residential segregation and school segregation, as part of ongoing racism and discrimination in the United States.
