* Segregation: Blacks were still segregated from whites in many aspects of life, including housing, education, and transportation. They were often denied access to public facilities, such as restaurants and hotels.
* Discrimination: Blacks faced widespread discrimination in employment, housing, and education. They were often paid less than whites for the same work, and they were often denied access to better jobs and housing.
* Violence: Blacks were often victims of violence, including lynchings and police brutality. The Ku Klux Klan was a particularly active white supremacist group during this time, and they often targeted blacks with violence.
* Economic hardship: Blacks were disproportionately affected by the economic hardships of the Great Depression. They were often the last to be hired and the first to be fired, and they were often forced to work in low-paying jobs.
Native Americans
* Assimilation: Native Americans were forced to assimilate into white culture, and their traditional way of life was often suppressed. They were often forced to live on reservations, where they were often neglected by the government.
* Loss of land: Native Americans continued to lose their land to white settlers, and they were often displaced from their traditional homelands.
* Disease: Native Americans were also heavily impacted by diseases, such as smallpox and measles, which were introduced by white settlers. These diseases decimated Native American populations.

Overall, life was difficult for blacks and Native Americans in the 1920s. They faced widespread discrimination, violence, and economic hardship. They were also often denied their basic rights and freedoms.
