African Americans resisted racism and tried to improve their way of life following
Reconstruction in various ways. One of the most prominent ways was through education. Many African Americans founded and attended schools, particularly in the South, where public education was not available to them. This helped to increase literacy rates and provide better opportunities for African Americans in the workforce.
Another way was through political activism. African Americans organized themselves into political groups and sought to gain voting rights and representation in government. They also pushed for legislation and policies that would improve their status, such as anti-discrimination laws and desegregation of public facilities.
