    Had the reforms of the late 1800s and 1900s remained unchanged, various luxuries we experience today would not exist. While a considerable amount of the U.S population was for reforms, those in high statuses in either government or wealth did not see the need to create changes that could disturb their lives. Or make changes that they did not see significant because those with wealth did not experience all the struggles that were faced by the rest of the population. Major reform efforts of the late 19th and 20th century would consist of political reforms, women’s rights reforms, and labor reforms.…

    Members in this elite could be achieved through talent, wealth, occupation, family connections, complexion, and education. The elite was what led in the development of black institutions and culture, in the antislavery movement, and in the struggle for racial justice.

Segregated neighborhoods gave rise to a black professional class of physicians, lawyers, ministers and undertakers who only served African Americans.…

    Segregation first became legal in the 1896 case of Plessey v. Ferguson. The Supreme Court made it legal because they thought that even though blacks and whites wouldn’t be able to use the same public facilities, the facilities for blacks were equal to the white facilities.
