They mandated de jure racial segregation in all public facilities, with a supposedly "separate but equal" status for black Americans. In reality, this led to treatment and accommodations that were usually inferior to those provided for white Americans, systematizing a number of economic, educational and social disadvantages.At the time i think it was legal because the whites were racial to the blacks and were killing a lot of the blacks but then it changed after Martin luther king did his speech
5. Civil Rights workers tried to help African-Americans in the South register to vote. What were some of the obstacles African-Americans faced when trying to register to vote?

Seeking a new tactic, Moses prevailed over doubts among SNCC and COFO workers, and planning for Freedom Summer began in February 1964.

This special program provides educators and their students with a gripping depiction of the United States in this watershed era.
