African Americans fought against racial discrimination in America through various means, including grassroots activism, legal challenges, and civil rights movements. Key figures like Martin Luther King Jr. and organizations such as the NAACP organized protests, marches, and boycotts to demand equal rights and challenge segregation. Landmark legal cases, like Brown v. Board of Education, helped dismantle institutionalized racism in schools and other public spaces. Additionally, cultural expressions through art, music, and literature provided powerful platforms for raising awareness and fostering solidarity within and beyond their communities.

Discrimination against African-Americans in the North was often less overtly violent than in the South, where Jim Crow laws enforced strict segregation and institutional racism. In the North, discrimination took the form of social and economic exclusion, such as redlining, limited job opportunities, and restrictive housing practices, which created de facto segregation. While Southern discrimination was legally sanctioned and deeply rooted in the culture, Northern discrimination was more subtle and often masked by a facade of progressivism. However, both regions shared the commonality of systemic racism and inequality.
