African Americans struggle for equality

Most African Americans struggled a lot by fighting for their rights. Some was even struggling to live because they had to work as farmers and they were segregated because of their color, they were also denied to the fact that they couldn't vote either. A guy named Booker T. Washington was an African American educator and helped gain African American's their confidence, and respect back up into the society. A lot of African Americans were being lynched and suffered racist violence. So a research by Wells-Barnett said that lynching was a motive to the white people because they did lynching, "to get rid of the Negroes who were acquiring wealth and property".
