Best Answer

The 1920s was a period of tension in relations between whites and blacks in America. During World War I, over 200,000 Black soldiers experienced nations in Europe in which their color was not a major handicap. When they returned home after the war, many expected a greater measure of equality. Those black families that moved north, experienced more civil rights, on paper, and a less restrictive lifestyle than those black families in the South. But there was still much segregation in the North. De facto segregation as opposed to de jure segregation in the South. There were many race riots during the decade of the Twenties. During the Twenties, black nationalism began to grow. Organizations, like the Universal Negro Improvement Association, began to grow. Founded in 1909, the NAACP began to campaign against lynching during the Twenties. In the South and Midwest, the KKK saw a resurgence of its power during the decade.
