African Americans were facing some rough times in the South.Some of them let the South for the Midwest or moved too northern cities. They formed mutual aid societies, started businesses, strnghtened churches, and built schools.
ReplyDeleteTheir were two different views on how to batttle discrimination. One was to not say anything so that they did not anger the whites and the other was to openly protested the unfair treatment of the Blacks such as Ida Wells-Barnett

ReplyDeleteOne way African Americans responded to being segregated and loss of rights was to become a stronger race. They built up businesses, mutual aid societies, schools and churches. This was due to the ideas of Booker T. Washington. Another way was to protest in the streets. This usually led to violence though and wasn't very effective.
ReplyDeleteOne way was that they tried to expand their knowledge by training in specific fields.
ReplyDeleteAnother way was taking their cases to the Supreme Court, but that didn't work. One case was Plessy vs. Ferguson, and the Supreme Court declared that "seperation but equal" does not violate the 14th Amendment.
Some people spoke out and protested, but most results didn't fair well. One person was Ida Wells and some time after she printed her newspaper editorial, her newspaper building was burned down.
Some AA's that tried to speak out against discrimination were threatened, injured, or killed by the KKK.
They protested, got training in trades and professions trying to make their independence stronger, and made their churches stronger.

The African Americans responded to segregation and to the loss of civil and political rights by, one, they decided to protest. The main leader behind this was Ida Wells-Barnett. She believed that segregation was not right and that they should be equal. Another way the responded was by not saying anything at all. The leader for this was Booker T. Washington. He believed that they should not say anything so that way they didnt anger the whites. Another was they responded was by moving to the midwest or northern states so that they could be treated as equals.

African Americans reacted in many ways. some of them left the south and moved to the midwest, or northern cities. others stayed in the south and tried to improve their lives. they formed mutual aide societies, started businesses, strengthened churches, and built schools. Booker T Washington believed that they should not protest discrimination, they should try to progress social and economic problems. Ida Wells wrote Memphis Free Speech, agter her friends were lynched. She also published A Red Record, the first statistical study of lynching. she was trying to keep public attention, and that is exactly what she did.
