During the civil rights movement African Americans were treated bad. Also, during the reconstruction African Americans were treated horrible as well. African Americans were treated um-human like. They were not given the rights to vote. They faced discrimination all the time. Everywhere they went they would face discrimination. When they would apply for a job they would not get it. If they did want a certain race to be hired they would not hire them. They were also denied the access to places. Such as restaurants, buses, etc. They were also split schools. White and African Americans. They were treated just above slaves. When African Americans were given jobs they got the crappy jobs. Ones that paid to just barely survive. They did not have a wide variety of choices. What ever they can get they took. They would also separate the African Americans with whites. They would have separate theaters, restrooms and transportation.
