African Americans have changed racial discrimination in the years following world war two by fighting for their rights along with freedom just like white people . They be brave go use the white peoples water fountains like it's normally today and they would have tough have sit-ins they would go in a white only restaurants where they were going to sit until they help them selves out of the restaurants usally without purchasing anything.They would get yelled at with terribly rude comments like , " you black people don't belong here." But they still fought. African Americans also held very long and strong protests and rallys around important places to draw attention and help get their well deserved rights by chanting loudly through towns and cities sometimes for days . The Africans also held very heart touching speeches about how everyone black or white should live in unison because we are all the same on the inside. The Africans were very persistent in fighting for what was right for them even in tough times. They fought against segragation which separated them from whites for no other reason than they looked different . Some strong people rose out of the crowd in these terrible times to stand up for them all like Martin Luther King Jr. and Rosa Parks also many more. They were very strong and brave people who care about everything no matter how they were treated. African American people have done an incredible thing and it worked we are w living in unison now all because of their bravery.
