rights, african americans were slaves and they were beat and they weren't fed.
Now it is illegal to have slaves.Now, colored people can have a job and get paid. Now, they
can go to restaurants and go to stores and have nice things without being discriminated.
There is still racism but it isn't as bad as it used to be. Now, if a white person makes a
racist comment to an African American other people will defend the colored person and step up
for what is right.Back then if they tried to defend themselves they were beat and sometimes
killed.That's another thing that's changed.Now, we have the right to speak our mind without
being beaten and killed. …show more content…
They had
separate bathrooms for them. Also, they didn’t let colored people go to restaurants or stores just
because of there skin color. Now its changed because they have the right to go and be whatever
they want without anyone saying they can’t. Colored people were also burned alive by
people from the kkk. When they would see the kkk people walking around the colored people
had to hide or else they would kill them. Now, colored people are allowed to go to busses
and walk around and not have to be scared. They have the right to be themselves without being scared of someone attacking them. I think it's amazing how everything has changed
through the years. In the beginning, racial equality has changed a lot through the
years because colored people have a lot more rights then they used to. Because
we have different skin tones does not mean we dont have the same rights. Thanks
to Martin Luther KIng Jr who fought for equal rights now we have a safer environment for
everything and equal
