One significant problem faced by Black individuals living in the South was systemic racism, which manifested through discriminatory laws, social practices, and economic inequalities. Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation in public facilities, schools, and transportation, perpetuating a cycle of disenfranchisement and limited opportunities. Additionally, violence and intimidation from groups like the Ku Klux Klan made it dangerous for Black individuals to assert their rights or challenge the status quo. This oppressive environment severely restricted their social, economic, and political freedoms.
