A lot of people wonder how racism affected colored people and how their treatment is different. Well, colored people were always on the poor end of the stick they worked in factories and plantations and were always in debt. They were beaten and bruised if they didn't follow an order by their "master". Colored women could be raped or abused badly. After a while things did get a little better but everything was seperated by race. Brown vs. Board allowed colored kids to finally go to school and learn to read and write and the North became a place of freedom and regular human rights for all no matter the race. Mr. Luther King Jr. fought for normal human rights through peace with the general public and from then on everything changed and now we're here today where everyone has equal rights no matter your race
