OPPRESION & SEGREGATION

The African Americans have faced many oppression ,have been mistreated and faced discrimination since the early hundreds.African Americans have faced many discrimination for being colored many groups thought that white was the supreme race.In the 1800's  segregation was a big issue ,it existed  in a way that in buses,bathroom and schools black African Americans could not sit in the same place as white ,use white bathrooms and assist to same school this set of laws where known as Jim Crow.

In the US this discrimination led to various conflicts in courts for the end of segregation.The Bill of Rights stated that all people should be treated equally and the government was excluding them from these rights because they were treated inferiorly.Social groups were being created against all people who were different than whites such as the KKK this group led to the assassination of many black people, oppressed and strongly believed in white supremacy. The African Americans couldn't vote and those who tried to vote were followed and assassinated usually they were beaten and hunged.

African Americans have faced many oppression  during the time. They as a group have faced many issues ,due to discrimination of color and race.During the 1800's African Americans were mistreated they lived in a world where everything was segregated because white was taught as the supreme race.They had to attend different schools,use different bathrooms and were regretted service to dinners and entrance to the theaters .In my future posts I will explain how this African Americans struggled for equality !=)
