Abstract

This chapter focuses on America as a case study. With the ratification of the 13th Amendment, which ended slavery, other forms of oppression were placed on the Black man and woman in America. This chapter also discusses events that led up to the major leg of the Civil Rights Movement such as lynchings, Black Codes, Jim Crow laws, etc. Continued slights, aggressions and even murders that took place are introduced and discussed. Due to the fact that some of the leaders themselves were Ku Klux Klan members, due justice was often denied. It took over 100 years after the ratification of the 13th Amendment and countless protests, imprisonments, and even assassinations, before true change started to truly emerge in America.
