RACISM IN THE 1930'S

- The grandfather clause: allowed blacks to vote only if they had a grandfather that voted. If their grandfather was a slave, they couldn't vote. Because of this clause, no black could vote and no black would ever be able to.

- The Jim Crow Laws: Blacks could not go into restaurants or other public places inhabited by whites. There were separate schools, water fountains, restores, even churches. Blacks had to sit in the back of buses and other forms of public transportation. An example of this in the book was when Dill, Jem and Scout were at the courthouse and there were no seats left in the front row. Three blacks stood so that they could be seated.

-Though slavery was finally made illegal, people were still mistreated by their race. Though all races werediscriminated African Americans were targeted the most. The Ku Klux Klan (KKK) was the largest known group to mistreat them. They would dress in cloaks and triangular masks to hide their identity and torture innocent victims because of their nationality. Heavy burdens of racism in the america have fallen upon Native Americans, African Americans, Asian Americans, Mexican Americans, American Jews, Irish Americans, Italian Americans, American Muslims and Arab Americans, and some other immigrant groups and their descendants.
