In the 1960s black children were not allowed to go to the same schools as white people they would be giving abuse, shouted at and threatened to be killed. In 1964 the southern states decided to send they black children to a white school they got sent home they tried again the next day and a mob of 1000 people said they would lynch them if they went in, the next day 11000 government soldiers had to go in to protect the black Children. 1 year later black children were allowed in white schools. This shows how horrible and unfair black people got treated in the 1960s, this shows that the better race relations where still needed .
In the 1960s shops and restaurants treated black people horribly they wouldn’t let them in and when they were let in they would get food frown at them, they were spat on and shouted at. One day the black civil rights protesters went and sat in a number of lunch counters were they had food frown at them, spat on and beaten up. Police did nothing but arrested some of the protester’s. The black people boycotted the shops the shops lost money so ended up letting black people in there shops. What happened to the black civil rights protesters shows how horrible and unfair they got treated in shops and restaurants. this shows that the better race relations where still needed .
In the 1960 black people where allowed to vote in some places but there were still some places in the south were black people were still not allowed to vote. In 1965 black protesters set out to march from Selma to Montgomery to demand the vote but police attacked the protesters using tear gas and clubs this got shown on TV all over America, Americans were shocked and black people ended up getting the right to vote. This relates to the question because it shows that race relations where still needed in the 1960s.
In the 1960 bus company’s treated black people unfairly they would make black people sit at the back of the bus and white people got to sit at the front and if a white person got on the bus and the white section of the bus was fool the driver would make the first row of colours move so the person can sit down this happened to Rosa park she was sitting on the first row of the coloured section when a white man got on the bus but the white section was fool so the driver told Rosa parks and the people on the row to move Rosa park refused to move she was arrested and got given a $10 fine. This relates to the question because it shows that race relations where still needed in the 1960s.
In the 1960s black people lived a horrible and unfair life. The civil wrights movement had won lots of battles but they stilled got treated unfairly in 1964 because they will still poor, they lived in slum areas, most of them had bad jobs or no jobs at all and black people where more likely to get arrested and beaten up by the police then a white person. This relates to this question because it shows that black where still getting treated badly so they still needed better race relations.
There where some attempts made to help black people in the 1960s, in 1963 the government passed the civil rights act. It said that all people could vote there be no segregations in public places, no segregations in schools and there must be equal job opportunities. This was not that successful because discrimination did not end, police still used tear gas, cattle prods, sticks and dogs to beat up black people. This relates to the question because it shows there was still racism in the 1960s so they still needed the better race relations.
In conclusion I think they still needed better race relations in the USA in the early 1960s.
