Because of their skin color and a law called the Jim Crow laws, blacks were told they were inferior to the whites in all ways, including intelligence, morality, and civilized behavior.
During this period of time the blacks were separated from the whites, in buses, restaurants, waiting rooms, jobs and more.
In other words they were treated almost as "slaves", whites were allowed to lynch them (burn them alive, or hang them in front of the public).
The statistics were grim for black Americans in 1960. Their average life-span was seven years less than white Americans'. Their children had only half the chance of completing high school, only a third the chance of completing college, and a third the chance of entering a profession when they grew up. On average, black Americans earned half as much as white Americans and were twice as likely to be unemployed.
In 1959 the Supreme Court decision for Louise Brown came down against school discrimination, but that didn't stop it. Louise was allowed into the all white school, but she was yelled at as she entered the school each day, put in a room alone, and kept segraded from the rest of her class. Other African American children also found themselves on busses within the next few years as court orders came to integrate the schools. Higher education also saw students refused admission to programs and state colleges. The white school systems to reduce the numbers of African American students entering the schools came up with the idea of school vouchers. Vouchers would be issued to well off white students to attend a particular school. The integration of the schools has been a long and hard battle and still is not really over. There are forces in the country that would like to return to 60 years ago and the way things were once were.
not very good at all
sheesh
Probably Blacks (not to be mean), like the rest of America.
Not that different from North America
At that time, there were a lot of discrimination. They were supported by the Jim Crow law.
there were presidios missions and settlement and lots of people there
Bad as blacks were racially segregated meaning a hard life which they suffered. As decades went by they would start a Civil Rights campaign which helped this. Cheers B A L
slavery and the issues that it brougt
crapy for women and blacks
Probably Blacks (not to be mean), like the rest of America.
like who cares
What was life like before Albert Einstein moved to America
Im sure she was born in America. She is just an African-American, like most blacks in the U.S.
Life for the Poles in America was like life for everyone else. What it was like depended on what period of time is being considered. Live in 1803 was different from life in 1703 or 1903 or 2003.
it was a struggle for the freed slave because they didn't know what to do or how to get jobs or nothing!
slimmer
Blacks were given little rights. They were beat, raped and sometimes murdered for no reason.
Depends on who you talk to, in some ways yes, in some ways no. In some countries blacks are still treated as slaves. In America blacks did not have the same civil liberties that white people had, however they were not bought and sold as property (...not openly).
Life in colonial America was very simple. Everyday life included things like, farming, outhouses, candles for light, and cooking on an open fire.
