Solution

The correct options are
A Camilla and Jamila were likely racially segregated.
C Jamila's community faced racial discrimination in the American society.
Based on the description, Jamila was likely from a different racial community and not a "white" American. This could be a cause for the separation in schools. In the 1950s USA, there was racial discrimination and segregation in educational insitutions, as well as in other public places.
