History

African Americans were always put in a difficult position in history; whether it was slavery, racism, segregation, or lack of human rights, there's no question about whether or not they were prejudiced against. However, things were different before and after slavery.

Before African Americans were brought into slavery, they mostly populated Africa. Their colonies weren't very far along, and the colonies in Europe, North America, and South America were much farther along in technology.  African Americans are descended from various ethnic groups, mostly from western and central Africa, including the Sahel. A smaller number came from eastern and southeastern Africa. The major ethnic groups that the enslaved Africans belonged to included the Hausa, Bakongo, Igbo, Mandé, Wolof, Akan, Fon, Yoruba, and Makua, among many others.

After the long fight against slavery, African Americans still had a long way to go for equal rights. In 1865, slavery was officially ended in the United States, now known as the Emancipation Proclamation. Although slavery was outlawed, that never stopped white citizens from showing a painfully obvious distaste for colored citizens. Transportation, education, restaurants, and public restrooms were all separated by color of the skin, leading to years of underlying racism. Currently, African Americans have equal human rights, but no one can deny that we as a nation still have a long way to go for equality.

How did the Texas legislator first reactor Brown vs. Board of Education​
timurjin [86]

Answer:

When the case came before the Supreme Court in 1952, the Court consolidated all five cases under the name of Brown v. Board of Education. Marshall personally argued the case before the Court. Although he raised a variety of legal issues on appeal, the most common one was that separate school systems for blacks and whites were inherently unequal, and thus violate the "equal protection clause" of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
