4th-1930s+Status+of+African+Americans

In the 1930's, education systems separated the whites and blacks. This is called segregation. In the south, segregation was the law, as was it in many other places as well. African Americans were separated everywhere they went. Blacks didn't eat in the same restaurants as whites. Blacks didn't use the same bathrooms as whites. Blacks did not even drink from the same water fountains as whites. Supposively, African Americans and whites were separate but equal, but in reality, white people had more desirable rights than the blacks.

There was a group formed that was full of white men that shared the same hate for African Americans. This group was called the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).The KKK went out of their way to try to eliminate all of the African Americans around. The group originated in the Southern area but eventually spread around the world. These members wore white clothing that looked like a sheet with armholes and a pointy white cap that draped over the members' face.
