What obstacles did African Americans face in the 1950s?

The 1950s were a time of economic expansion, new technologies, and a growing middle class. While the white working class saw their wages and status improve, blacks were largely excluded from the prosperity of the 1950s. Segregation in housing and education made for some serious inequality for African Americans.

What problems did African Americans face during the Gilded Age?

Southern blacks suffered from horrific violence, political disfranchisement, economic discrimination, and legal segregation. Ironically, the new wave of racial discrimination that was introduced was part of an attempt to bring harmony between the races and order to American society.

What are some challenges faced by African Americans?
