After the Civil Rights Movement, African Americans still faced many tough challenges that were really discouraging.
Money Problems: Even though things got better in some ways, many people still struggled with being poor and not getting fair jobs.
School Differences: Schools were often still separated by race, which meant that some students didn’t get the same resources and chances as others.
Racism in the System: Problems like unfair treatment by the police and high rates of people going to jail continued to happen, trapping many in a cycle of hardship.
Political Voice: More African Americans were starting to get elected to government positions, but there was still a long way to go to make sure everyone was fairly represented.
Activism didn’t stop; it just changed. People continued to fight for justice, but in new and different ways.
