Racism affected 1930s immensely. Racism caused people not to feel safe, not secure in their neighborhoods. During the 1930s there was white supremacy everywhere. Bombings occurred in black schools and churches and overall violence against black individuals. For instance, on k12academics.com it listed that in 1934, in Gill, Massachusetts Elliott Speer murdered by a shotgun through the window at Northfield Mount Herman school. This shows that groups such as the KKK showed no mercy and they even shot African Americans at schools. Racism also affected the 1930s because African Americans did not have the justice that white people did. For example, white people would not hire African Americans because of their color. This was unfair for black men and women who were just trying to find a job to support their own families. In local jobs, white men would fire blacks from jobs just because of the way they looked. In the 1930s any store, restaurant, bar, etc. would be filled with all whites working, white people would be embarrassed or even ashamed to have a black individual working at the front. Most black employees who worked were working in the back mopping or cleaning bathrooms or kitchens. African Americans would be hired as maids or assistants so the whites would feel overpowering and in control. White people were always favored, black individuals did not have any justice. The 1930s were also affected by racism because of segregation. African American children could never go anywhere near white children, to the white individuals, black people were gross and horrifying. The segregation was over the top, black children were not allowed to go to the same school as whites. The white supremacy did not care about black children and their education. There were many occasions and situations where black students were very smart and did not have any opportunities to do anything because of their skin color. Therefore, this is evidence of how racism affected the 1930s.
