Group 7: The most difficult period of African-American

Today guys! I’m going to talk about a really interesting and important topic… The history of the American during the 50’s and 40’s, more specifically, the life of the African-American during the most difficult period for them.

Everyone knows about the usual racist mental that American usually had and all conflicts between white people and African-American, these were enslaved by the white race for a long time… Also, not just that! They made a lot of unusual rules to oppress and restrict black people, which they had to meet with great responsibility or else they would be severely punished by law.

For many years several historians have done a lot of research to analyze the situation of African Americans during this period, giving us many examples of rules that black people must obey. Many of these, clearly, did not respect human rights…

With great dedication, I've decided to compile the most interesting facts and rules:

During construction of the Pentagon, was built restrooms for blacks and whites.
African Americans did not have the same benefits at work than whites, for example, holidays. Moreover, the value of their work per hour was lower.
In restaurants, there were exclusive areas to black people.
They were not admitted, neither in social clubs or discos.
Was prohibited marriages between blacks and whites.
Blacks could not vote.
There were schools and neighborhoods only for African-American.
In the buses, they could not share the same bench, the black people had their specific area.
