Throughout history, various groups and individuals have perpetrated abuse against African Americans, most notably during the era of slavery and the Jim Crow period. Enslavers and their supporters exploited and oppressed African Americans through brutal labor, violence, and systemic racism. Additionally, organizations like the Ku Klux Klan and other hate groups have engaged in acts of terror and violence against African Americans to maintain white supremacy. This abuse is rooted in deeply entrenched societal and institutional racism that persists in various forms today.
