African-Amerrican after Reconstruction

Immediately after Reconstruction racism was not hidden, everything was out in the open. If you were racist everyone knew you were because you did racist things. African - Americans were victims of the law. They were forced to take literacy test (reading test) and they were given in different languages. There was a law called the Grandfather Clause, this law stated that all men or lineal descendants of men who were voters before 1867 did not have to meet the educational, property, or tax requirements for voting then in existence. Also Blacks and whites were not allowed to be in the same schools, hospitals, parks, and transportation systems in the south. This was known as segregation and the Jim Crow laws. If you are racist now no one would know because it's more hidden.
