Question

What was it like to be an African American during the Jim Crow era?

Answer 1

Answer:

Although I could never know the hardships that people went through during the era of Jim Crow, I would think that the African American community would be frustrated about how they had been treated during the time. People such as Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King Jr. stood up for themselves and their people and helped with the racial injustices. It must have been hard, and to be brought up in a community in which you are put down and segregated because of something as insignificant as the color of your skin, where racism was justified by people in power. Growing up with the mindset that people don't appreciate you because of how you look must have been hard to understand, but something that was frequent and became the mindset of many. To put it in simpler terms, it must have been extremely tough.

Explanation:

Again, these are just my thoughts on how people must have felt, I myself have not experienced any of these hardships in life and I hope I did not come across the wrong way.
