what challenges did the blacks face at the end of ww2?
lol, interesting wording of the question
Many blacks could not vote because of poll taxes and literacy tests and there was still segregation in the south and housing restrictions in both the north and the south. This did not begin to change until the Brown vs Board of Education decision that made segregation in all public schools in the U.S.(1954 Supreme Court decision) that overturned Plessy vs Ferguson (1896 U.S. Supreme Court decision). The mid-20th century civil rights efforts began with Rosa Parks and the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott that lasted for over a year. It was also the murder of Emmet Till in Mississippi, while he was visiting relatives, that was a major cause also for a civil rights movement, that hasn't stopped yet.
