Racial discrimination has played a significant role in Black history, with African Americans facing systemic inequalities and injustices for centuries. From slavery and segregation to racial profiling and police brutality, African Americans have endured various forms of discrimination throughout history.

Slavery was a brutal system of racial discrimination that dehumanized and exploited African Americans for economic gain. Even after slavery was abolished, African Americans continued to face discrimination through Jim Crow laws that enforced racial segregation and limited their rights and opportunities.

The civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s sought to challenge and dismantle racial discrimination through nonviolent protests, legal battles, and advocacy for equal rights. Despite significant progress, racial discrimination still persists today in various forms, including housing discrimination, educational disparities, workplace bias, and unequal treatment in the criminal justice system.

The fight against racial discrimination is an ongoing struggle, and Black individuals and communities continue to advocate for equality, justice, and systemic change to address the legacy of discrimination in Black history.
