In the 1920s, African Americans faced severe discrimination, particularly in the South, where Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation and limited their rights. In northern cities, while they experienced less legal segregation, they still encountered systemic racism, economic inequality, and social prejudice.

Despite these challenges, the Harlem Renaissance emerged during this period, celebrating Black culture and creativity.
