There may have been a few African Americans who were better off after the Reconstruction but the majority of them were worse off. While they were technically "free", they were treated as second class citizens. Most of them were released from their lives as slaves and found themselves without shelter and food.
Oscar DePriest was a significant figure in American history as the first African American elected to the U.S. Congress in the post-Reconstruction era, serving from 1929 to 1935. He was a strong advocate for civil rights and worked to improve conditions for African Americans, particularly in Chicago. DePriest also played a role in the passage of the National Housing Act of 1934, which aimed to provide better housing for low-income families. His election marked a pivotal moment in the representation of Black Americans in government.

The Phelps-Stokes Commission, established in the early 20th century, focused on education for African Americans and indigenous populations in the United States and Africa. It found that existing educational systems were inadequate, emphasizing the need for better access to quality education and vocational training. The commission advocated for a more inclusive approach that respected cultural identities while promoting social and economic advancement. Its recommendations aimed to improve educational opportunities and address systemic inequalities faced by marginalized communities.

African Americans were freed from slavery and one of the goals of Reconstruction was to help them adjust to living as free men. The federal Freedman's bureau was set up to help ex-slaves find food, housing and jobs and provide some education and medical aid.
