The pre-equality era was plagued by racism, , sexism and unequal rights.

Also in the Help the protagonists manage to somewhat express their views through the book(which was illegal) while in the Invisible Man the narrator cannot talk about his views of equality in front of whites because they get offended( paint factory scene{a symbol}, bachelor’s party etc.). In The Help the unprivileged managed to assert individuality while The Invisible Man showcased the wrongdoings of white society.
