* Vote. Many Southern states had laws that made it difficult or impossible for black Americans to register to vote. These laws included poll taxes, literacy tests, and all-white primaries.
* Hold office. Black Americans were rarely elected to public office, and when they were, they often faced discrimination and hostility.
* Attend white schools. Black children were required to attend segregated schools, which were often underfunded and inferior to white schools.
* Use public facilities. Black Americans were often denied access to public facilities, such as restaurants, hotels, and swimming pools.
* Own land. Black Americans were often denied the opportunity to own land, and when they were able to own land, they were often restricted to certain areas.
* Get jobs. Black Americans faced discrimination in employment, and they were often paid lower wages than white workers for the same work.
* Form labor unions. Black workers were often denied the opportunity to form labor unions, and when they were able to form unions, they were often segregated from white unions.
These are just some of the ways in which black Americans faced discrimination and racial segregation in the 1930s. Despite these challenges, black Americans fought for their rights, and they made significant progress in the decades that followed.
