In my team, we did the harm that was done to the African Americans during that time period. It had due to many deaths and tortures that were trauma onto them later on in life. Lynching was a major topic on the harm that was done to African Americans. It had led to many deaths in the south which was where most of the killings had happened. It turns out that white and black were both being lynched by people who believe they deserve punishment.
Also, the Second Ku Klux Klan happened again, and they started to make some messages known to everyone about how they feel about African-Americans living in their country. This group was the one to dawn the white robes and hoods which became significant that’s still part of the Ku Klux Klan to this day. They did do some violent things to African Americans involving torturing them to death and killing them by the riverbed method. They weren't really into trouble with the law in this situation because the authorities were fine with it and let them keep doing it.
The poll tax was another issue that the African Americans were dealing with since it was violating one of their rights which was the right to vote. It required them to pay a fee to vote or take a test to see if they could vote, which was a disadvantage for black people at the time very much so. They took this problem to court and showed that the states were violating their rights on the African Americans which caused them to change that policy on poll taxing. They changed it for federal elections mostly.
