PRESENTATION OUTLINE
1.
AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE 1950'S
Segregationist policies still existed in many of the states
The separate but equal doctrine was still in effect
This doctrine had been in effect since the 1890's
Blacks had to use separate public bathrooms, go to separate schools, and even hotels too
These laws were mainly enforced in the south
2.
AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE 1950'S
Many blacks suffered through discrimination at this time
These discriminations lead to to the civil rights movement
Brown v. Board of Education was one case that helped to start it
After the case the court put down the law that allowed schools to segregate
3.
AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE 1950'S
Many states and schools ignored this new law
Many southern schools remained segregated
Communities in the south fought this ruling
Many African American church leaders lead movement
4.
AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE 1950'S
Church's became meeting grounds for civil rights groups
Church goers and community leaders all worked together
They all lead demonstrations some of these being boycotts
Discrimination was illegal in the United States but laws were ineffective
5.
AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE 1950'S
Discrimination was still alive in the north but less noticeable
Many African Americans left the south and went north
They wanted a new start but often found the same ideals they had in the south
Many major cities became home to many African Americans who had left
6.
AFRICAN AMERICANS IN THE 1950'S
Many of these cities became heavily populated with African Americans
Health care in these cities was a lower standard then in white communities
Many African Americans received a lower wage then many white Americans
Black unemployment was twice as much as white unemployment
