African Americans have not been getting their rights. Its been a very rough time during. This act has helped the African Americans so much! "In 1870, the original bill outlawed racial discrimination in juries, schools, transportation, and public accommodations. Republican leaders were forced, however, to chip away at the legislation’s protections in order to make it palatable enough to pass in the face of growing public pressure to abandon racial legislation and embrace segregation." Unfortunately, This act would not be passed by the Supreme Court due to the Bill not including to extend it to private businesses! Soon, they will get their rights and be equal with everybody, even though it should have happened from the start!
