It may be hard to imagine in the 21st century what things were like during the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960's. Especially in the southern states, racial equality was just a dream to African-Americans. They could only use public restrooms if it was designated for blacks. They had to sit in the back of public transportation buses. They were even forbidden to use a 'white' water fountain.
Thank goodness times have changed for the better. It was a resounding victory for civil rights with the election of an African-American president. Dr. King would have been so happy.

∙ 14y agoEven though laws prohibited discrimination in 1960, there were behaviors and local laws that still separated the races. Examples were that people of color would be turned down for housing loans if they chose a house in the "wrong" neighborhood. Churches were segregated. Schools were segregated because of neighborhood schools rulings. Jobs were not available to the untrained but training was not available. Certain universities were still segregated.
In general the attitude of separate but equal was wide spread but America was waking up to the idea that it wasn't really true.

Have African-Americans secured their rights in the century since Booker T Washington's advice?
Although there is undoubtedly still some racial discrimination in the United States, I would say that African-Americans have very substantially secured their rights. The recent election of an African-American President, Barack Obama, is one of the clearest indications of this. Even the highest office in the country is open to African-Americans. 3/10 This is an in between question. On one side you do have those that have worked hard to get where they are at. On the other side, you have those that play the "Race- Card" that puts them in that spot they want to be in. Those are the ones that are telling people to feel sorry for them because of their family's past. Heck, Obama did it. If you weren't going to vote for him, you were racist.
