From the 1950's to 60's African American citizens were segregated. They really had no say in what White people did. There were drastic measures to people who tried to change this during this time. For instance, Beaten up, sprayed with fire hoses, etc. The Ku Klux Klan also had effect in people. They did not like the African Americans or anyone who did not agree with them. The KKK would even make deals with the police in some states, almost like a bribe. It wasn't until Martin Luther King Jr. who actually succeeded in anti segregation. Lifestyle in the 50's and 60's were very brutal.
