How did African Americans try to stop racial injustice?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The Supreme Court has thwarted Congressional attempts to shield previously enslaved people in a series of crippling decisions. The Supreme Court gave jurisdiction to the same white Southerners who used fear and intimidation to exclude Black people from voting, enforcing laws and policies that codified ethnic hierarchy and endorsing a modern constitutional order based on "states' rights."

EJI insists that a new age of truth and justice is needed, and that it must begin by tackling our country's legacy of racial inequality.

The mistaken assumption that nonwhite people are less civilised than white people starts American history with the emergence of a fallacy to absolve white settlers of the genocide of Native Americans. This belief in racial hierarchy survived slavery's abolition, sparked lynchings in the name of racial fear, demanded constitutionally codified segregation, and spawned our current mass incarceration epidemic.

Since we don't write about it, the dehumanising idea about ethnic difference persists still.
