Jim Crow laws and other racist practices were also enacted during this time, which created a system of "second-class citizenship" for African Americans that restricted their freedom .

Despite being faced these difficult challenges, African American were able to create institutions/communities that helped them survive and thrive during these harsh times.

During this time, thousands of African Americans who were living in the South decided to migrate to cities outside the South for better opportunities, while others stayed to fight for their newfound freedom while demanding equality, even though it meant risking their safety and well-being.

Ethnocentrism is a tendency that individuals have that leads them to believe their own culture is superior to others. During the era of segregation, we could say that white Americans had an ethnocentric mindset since they believed that they were superior to African Americans, which caused them to make laws/ practices that didn't allow black Americans to have the same rights and opportunities as them.
