Rosa Parks was the first lady to resist against the white Americans' racism, because they used to abuse black Americans. For example, black Americans were expected to give their bus and train seats to the white Americans, but when she refused to sacrifice her seat, they had her arrested. This lead to people eventually fighting against racial discrimination.

The theme of "Strange Fruit" by Billie Holiday is racial injustice and the brutality of racism, specifically the lynching of African Americans in the United States. The song confronts the violence and discrimination faced by Black individuals and serves as a powerful protest against these injustices.
The Black Panther Party, founded in 1966, is a notable example of the black panther movement. It was established to address systemic racism, police brutality, and social injustices faced by African Americans. The party organized community programs, such as free breakfast for children and health clinics, while advocating for self-defense against oppression. Their militant stance and community activism made them a significant force in the civil rights movement.
One of the worst crimes committed against African Americans was the institution of slavery, which dehumanized millions and subjected them to brutal treatment, forced labor, and family separations over centuries. Following the Civil War, the rise of Jim Crow laws and systemic racism led to widespread lynching, violence, and disenfranchisement. The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921, where a prosperous Black community was destroyed and its residents attacked, exemplifies the extreme violence faced by African Americans. These historical injustices have had lasting effects on generations and continue to influence social and racial dynamics today.
