The Fight For Justice Marks A Long Sequence Of Events Towards Their Freedom

African-American people have been treated unequally compared to people of European descent. For example, african-americans could not use certain public things like water fountains; when it comes to restaurants, black people had to go to the back to eat. Another thing, black people had to attend different schools than white people furthermore, the schooling was not as good as the others. The way african-americans were treated was not justified in any way at all. To explain, the african-americans probably felt horrible about the mistreatments they experienced. When they had to go to the backs of restaurants it was very inconvenient and they were basically being shamed and ridiculed all day no matter where they went. Some of them weren’t even

The United States is a immigrant country, which faces varieties of problems. The African American problem is one of the most serious one. Racial segregation is a deep-rooted social problem, which reflects in every field in the United States. For example, education, labor market and criminal justice system. In the aspect of education, most of black children were not permitted to enter the school, because the white children studied there. In the aspect of labor market, the black people 's average wages were lower than the whites. They did the manual work. In the aspect of criminal justice system, the blacks were easily in jail. Badly, their sentences were also more serious than the whites. In general, the blacks live in the bottom of the American society. Martin Luther King delivered the famous speech I Have a Dream, ' ' I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. ' ' (1) However, it was difficult for African American to get the freedom. The 1776 Declaration of Independence announced that everyone are equal and freedom.But black slavery still occurred in the southern states of America. Then the Civil War broke out, African American kept struggling for land and political rights.

Ever since white Americans colonisation in the United States, African Americans suffered long from the frustration of being discriminated and deprived. African Americans were restricted from associating or mixing

In America, the lives of Africans did not get any easier. Once the demand for labor began increasing dramatically, more and more Africans were imported to America. Originally, white people and black people worked together in the plantations. As a result of the increase in Africans in these British colonies, less white people took jobs on plantations. Eventually, enslavement became based on race. Numerous slave codes were developed, which included denying slaves the right to be out past sunset and denying slaves the right to meet in groups of three or more. These Africans forced to live enslaved in America were treated as if they were inferior to white people. It is discouraging to think about the fact that this country, though it was long ago, once accepted this kind of social injustice.

Both free and enslaved Africans were discriminated against in this time period but responded differently towards their challenges. African Americans found ways to cope with their situation one being religious gatherings (Doc D). They sang old traditional African songs and danced. By doing so, they can forget about life troubles for a moment and give themselves a sense of hope that someday they would by free. Some slaves where more violent than other and began rebellions against their white owners. The use of rebellion was inspired to them by the Bible and that God was pleading for their cause with earnestness and zeal (Doc G). Slaves who caused mischief was relocated deeper south where the treatment and condition was even worse. The Fugitive Slave Law forced the North to send back any slaves who escaped to the North in return for a reward. Slaves who tried to escape to the North were also relocated. By relocating them, the chances of escape decreased for them. Even

struggles they face are rooted in the historical treatment of African Americans in this country.

The African Americans, experienced for many centuries was very poorly in fact that they treated unfairly. In the communities today African Americans are targeted by their color of their skin. The police brutality towards black people is tremendously horrifying. The population of prisons in the U.S

The root cause of the problems and issues that faced African Americans from the beginning of the Reconstruction Period well into the 20th century “is the problem of the color-line, -the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea” (W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of the Black Folk, 1903). The most obvious root cause for racism problems and issues African Americans face is white supremacy.

Throughout history, black people have been oppressed. As far back to the Middle Passage and American Revolution. In this essay, I am going to investigate the ways black people resisted their ill-treatment. I will do this by investigating different time periods between the Middle Passage and the American Revolution so that we may find trends. From my investigations, we see in what ways and for what reasons their resistance varied by their time and location in history. Additionally, we will be able to see how their resistance calmed as they became more familiar to the land, and as they began to see America as home.

South Carolina is known for many of its historical customs and treasures, one of them being the Gullah language and culture which has become a consistent characteristic of the Carolina coast and low-country. Gullah is identified as a language, culture, and way of life by many of the coastal residents who still identify and participate in it, and the presence of Gullah is a center of interest for those who travel to the sea islands of Charleston and Hilton Head to observe and learn more about it. While Gullah is spoken by at least 300,000 African Americans in coastal regions across South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida, it has been, and remains, a distinctive and important part of the history, language, and culture of South Carolina (Taylor and

African-Americans have suffered the greatest indignity in the history of the humankind. Millions of African-Americans were enslaved throughout the United States from the Colonial Era until the end Civil War during which they were brutalized, murdered, kidnapped, raped, and deprived of their natural rights. Meanwhile, African-Americans have fought in every single war to secure America’s

Our ancestors were brought over into the United States from Africa unwillingly. The day they stepped foot on American soil became the start of an unpropitious future. Slavery lasted for approximately 245 years, and the repugnance did not stop there. Segregation became a substantial political issue. Minorities banned together to desegregate: schools, housing communities, and even public facilities. There were even caucasians, the majority, who helped with giving every human equal rights. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and

Since the emancipation of slavery, the African Americans had a continuous fight for their complete emancipations and for their civil rights for over one hundred years. The white Americans couldn’t accept and see the African Americans as free human being and equal as them. Their ignorance was making them blind, building in themselves a hate that was unbearable to a human kind to do to the others. That hate overcome any reasonable behave that forced the law to intervene several times for consecutive years.

The African American experience is one that is quite different from other racial/ ethnic groups. The majority of the first African American came over, unwillingly, on ships from various African countries. They were brought to America by white, European settlers to be used as slaves in an order to plant and harvest their crops and make money for the white man. This racial group was treated as if they were property and not people. However, with the ending of the American Civil War, African Americans gained freedom, freedom that not all white American were quite ready to handle. After gaining their freedom came the need for education, jobs and suffrage rights. Now in America this racial group has come a long way, having elected its first African American present for two terms, yet still there are many issues that are very prevalent. This racial group has been fighting their way to equality since the birth of this nation. African Americans have experienced an array of conflict, violence, stereotypes, prejudice acts, and discrimination against them throughout their history in America.

One may believe an African rebellion would be inevitable, after decades of oppression and ill-treatment from their white oppressors and it was. Africans grew tired of individual and institutional racism. A small group of Africans organized a revolt in 1712 resulting in the death of about ten whites. This act of deviance struck fear in the eyes of many white civilians and brought confidence to the hearts of many slaves. A picture of a church was on display and in writing it stated, “After an attempted revolt by Africans in 1712, white New Yorkers fear uprising and pass restrictive laws. Later news of rebellions elsewhere inspires some enslaved New Yorker and terrifies their owners.” Rebellions became more frequent and as a result, strict laws
