How Were African Americans Treated
The second reason why the blacks were miserable was because they did not get as much aid as the whites. White people would not allow the blacks to get the aid they needed. “In early public assistance programs African Americans often received substantially less aid than whites, and some charitable organizations even excluded blacks from their soup kitchens.” (Encyclopedia Britannica, 2017) Blacks should have gotten the aid they needed.

They suffered from not knowing common knowledge that the whites had. This caused the blacks to be looked at as stupid. It is very sad to know that African Americans were so miserable throughout this time. Blacks not having as good as an education was another reason why they were so miserable in the
