How were black people in America treated in the 1930s?

In the 1930s, Black Americans faced systemic racism and widespread discrimination, particularly in the Jim Crow South where segregation laws enforced racial separation in public facilities, schools, and transportation. Economic opportunities were severely limited, with many Black individuals relegated to low-paying jobs and facing barriers to employment and education. The Great Depression exacerbated these inequalities, as Black workers were often the first to be laid off and the last to be hired. Additionally, violence and intimidation from groups like the Ku Klux Klan were prevalent, further entrenching social and economic disparities.
