As mentioned before, blacks held jobs that provided little to no pay. Also the jobs were more often the most dangerous tasks that people would be asked to do. A claim that resurfaces multiple times throughout the history of Jim Crow laws is that both white and black people have the same opportunity, in this case an occupation, but time and time again it is not equal. This is also seen when it comes to education systems in place during the time period. Public schools for black children were opened for the first time after the civil war, but the conditions of the schools were atrocious.…

I have just learned about the incident regarding your unacceptable discrimination towards Mr. Green. I am concerned about the way you act towards African-Americans just because you think you’re allowed to. Dondré Green is a young African-American boy who just wanted to play golf, but he was denied his rights as a human in America and kicked out. Your establishment should allow Dondré to participate in his golfing career because he has a right to and you can’t take that right away from him. I realize that you may consider African-Americans to be lower class and a bad influence on your business, however, The Declaration of Independence says that “all men are created equal.”…
They also demanded for the segregation of public areas, streetcars and railroads.
