Black Americans did not benefit from the economic boom of the 1920s due to systemic racism, widespread discrimination, and segregation that limited their access to quality jobs, education, and housing. Many were confined to low-paying, unskilled labor, particularly in the South, where Jim Crow laws enforced racial inequality. Additionally, the prosperity of the decade largely favored white Americans, while black communities faced economic disenfranchisement and were often excluded from the benefits of industrial growth and consumer culture. The Great Migration did allow some to seek better opportunities in northern cities, but they still encountered significant racial barriers.
