During the Progressive Era, African Americans sought to gain rights through various means, including activism, legal challenges, and the formation of organizations. Prominent figures like W.E.B. Du Bois advocated for civil rights through the Niagara Movement and co-founded the NAACP in 1909 to combat racial discrimination and promote political representation. Grassroots efforts, such as protests and boycotts, also played a crucial role in challenging segregation and advocating for social justice. Additionally, many African Americans utilized the courts to fight against discriminatory laws and practices.
The Progressive movement largely neglected African Americans, who faced systemic racism and segregation during this period. While Progressives focused on issues like labor rights, women's suffrage, and political reforms, they often excluded or overlooked the struggles of Black Americans. Many Progressive leaders either supported or failed to challenge Jim Crow laws, leaving African Americans marginalized in the quest for social and political reform.
During the Progressive Era, various minority groups faced significant discrimination and targeting, including African Americans, immigrants, and Native Americans. African Americans were subjected to Jim Crow laws enforcing racial segregation and disenfranchisement. Immigrants, particularly from Southern and Eastern Europe, faced nativist sentiments and restrictive immigration policies. Native Americans were subjected to forced assimilation efforts and loss of tribal lands, as the government sought to integrate them into Euro-American society.
