Write down three ways Black Americans were treated differently

Black Americans didn't have many rights back in the day and mostly were slaves for the White citizens.

Black Americans were segregated from white people and weren't treated fairly. An example of this is when Rosa Parks sat in the bus on a seat that was 'reserved' for a white person.

Black Americans in the southern states suffered more discrimination than those in the north. This was because of the Jim Crow laws in the south. The Jim Crow laws legalised segregation and helped to keep black Americans in inferior positions in society, politics and the economy.

Some of these laws were -

Black Americans could not serve on juries, voting was made difficult for black Americans - and in order to vote they would have to pay a poll tax, pass a literacy test...,

Schools for black Americans were deliberately kept inferior- the textbooks were old and less money was spent on their privileges. This happened because the white people wanted the Black Americans to remain uneducated. Many Black citizens didn't have a proper education and if they did. they had very little and the environment where they studied was less in comparison to the white children. Meaning white children had the privileges of having bigger textbooks and bigger, more spacious classrooms, making it rare for Black Americans to study well and have a good education.
